Chevron Decorated Sweatshirt Jacket

Make a quilted “jacket” with no fitting because you use a sweatshirt as your base to add your strip pieced chevrons too. In class we will learn to make the chevrons, quilt them to a sweatshirt we have taken apart, and then sew the sweatshirt pieces back together again to end up with a beautiful personal jacket about which you can proudly say, “I made it myself!” We can take in the shirt under the arms and on the sides to make it fit better, but the shoulders will remain the same.

Supplies Required for Course

Supplies for jacket;

Prewashed Sweatshirt-find one you like that fits, then buy one size larger. www.jiffyshirts.com is an excellent, inexpensive, quick shirt source. The sweatshirt color will show on the inside of the jacket
3/8 yd of 7 to 11 different blendable fabrics (an uneven number is necessary) (fat quarters will work fine) I pick the colors to go with the clothing colors I wear most
1 ¼ yd fabric for binding and background
thread to match fabrics
complimentary thread to quilt with.

Before class. Before class. Trim the 3/8 yard pieces to 11 in. x 42 in. Then cut at least 160 11 inch x 1½ inch strips
(you may not need to use the whole strip of each fabric)
(if using fat quarters, cut the 22 in length in half to equal 11 in. strips) stack the cut fabrics in separate piles
