Quilted & Cozy: Quilt Block Sweatshirt Workshop
About
Take a basic sweatshirt and turn it into something beautifully handmade. In this creative workshop, you’ll construct a quick quilt block using a free pattern and learn how to properly prepare and attach it to a sweatshirt for a clean, finished look. We’ll talk about block construction, stabilizing your fabric, placement options, quilting techniques, and how to secure your patchwork so it wears well and washes well. This class is perfect for sewists who are comfortable with their machine and ready to combine quilting and garment sewing in a fun, wearable way. You’ll leave with: • A completed quilt block • The knowledge to confidently apply quilted elements to garments • A custom, cozy sweatshirt design that reflects your personal style This is where quilting meets everyday fashion — and cozy gets creative.
