Workshop description – Making A Quilty Vest (2 ½ -3 hours)

If you can make a whole quilt, you can make this easy quilted vest. The guild program introduced design ideas, and this workshop will help attendees execute their vision. As a bonus, the quilted unisex pattern we’ll use for class will be available to try on for sizing accuracy in advance of the workshop.

This workshop will:

• Review the steps to sew a quilted vest
• Recommend seam and edge finishes for the vest
• Begin the vest in class and take away understandable next steps

Attendees will create or obtain the fabric for the vest & binding. This can include pieces of your own design, vintage quilts, commercially quilted fabric, etc. As this vest can be reversible, consider both the right side and the inside fabrics.

Homework for the workshop:

1. Try on the designated unisex pattern and choose your size (sizes XS to XL are available); these will be at the guild meetings leading up to the workshop.
2. Based on size selected, create or source ‘quilted pieces’ for the vest
3. Find/create bias binding for the edges and armholes
