SUMMARY:Get Going Sewing Quilted Jackets
DESCRIPTION:Join Rae Cumbie\, co-author of Sewing Quilted Patchwork Jackets\, for 2 inspiring days in the Capital Quilts classroom.  With Rae you will choose a design\, fabric and all the details for your own quilted jacket\, or one to be given as a gift.  Plan to spend the first day working on a mock-up if you have not sewn with Fit for Art’s jacket patterns before.  We will finish the day with a discussion of the jacket of your dreams and get right to work it on day two.  While you might not get finished\, whether you are sewing a kid or adult jacket or vest you will be on your way to a fabulous quilted garment.  We will wrap up the second day looking at seams and finishes to help you construct a great garment. \n\n\n\nRegister directly with Capital Quilts for the 2-day class.
