Kantha Quilt Jacket
Bring on the cooler weather Mother Nature! Quilt Coats are fun and cozy to make and wear! In this workshop, we will start with The Elemental Coat Pattern and a Kantha quilt and then mix it up however you would like - short, medium of long lengths, 3/4 sleeves, full sleeves, or custom fit; hood, collar or open; pockets or not. Your Jacket Your Way! Cheri' Hanschu will walk us through making this simple modular jacket. These are loose fitting with many options. This is the perfect jacket to bring together the quilt makers and garment makers!
Kantha's are beautiful lightweight quilts from India with layers of cotton gauze-like fabrics in fun colors quilted together with sashiko running stitches. They are lightweight - just right for the transitional seasons. Cheri' will have plenty of Kantha quilts to choose from - come shop her stash at the workshop and let's get started on your fall wardrobe - or your Christmas gift giving! The Kantha quilt will run about $35.00.
Cheri' will walk you through the paces and make the jacket work for you!
