Call for current schedule
Teacher: Helga Diggelmann
Cost: $35.00 per class ($140.00 for the series)
Create a beautiful, lasting memory with your personal t-shirts. You will need 12 - 20 pre-selected t-shirts for this project.
This is not a beginner sewing project - you should have good basic sewing skills using a sewing machine.
Learn techniques to prepare your t-shirts for your quilt (properly stabilize), plan a layout, select fabrics for your quilt, cut and sew your sashings, and putting it all together and adding the border. In the final class, you will learn about adding the backing, quilting options, labels and making the binding.
For homework each week you will need to complete the steps learned in class to be ready for the next session.
