HOMEWORK AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR CLASSES!
This page will be updated as information/prework for classes becomes available.
A new pattern with the proper cutting instructions can be found HERE!! Do not use the sheet from class!!
BISON WALL HANGING January 17
Please review the pattern. You can choose to make the head section as directed in the pattern. I will teach an alternate method that uses scraps. You can decide to make the head either way or with a combination of techniques. You do not need to make any blocks ahead of time. To prepare for class, bring scraps in various widths (1” – 3”) and various lengths. I used left over scraps from a previous quilt that was made from a 2 ½” strip roll plus additional strips.
You will also need some fusible webbing. We have that at the store. You will only need about a yard—we will be fusing the head and butt differently from how the pattern does it.
You will also need to trace your pattern onto freezer paper. I have some freezer paper in the store that you can use. I also have the head and butt templates ready to trace. If you want to make your own templates, you can do that in advance of class.
You do not need to choose background fabric prior to class.
If none of this makes sense, don’t worry. We will discuss all of this in class. Lol

The pattern is Quilted Jacket Beginner by RosysPatterns. MAKE SURE YOU PURCHASE THIS PATTERN, SEE THE IMAGE BELOW to confirm the correct pattern! Jean will be teaching this pattern and only this pattern! Once you have learned the basics of making this jacket, you will have the skills to make any jacket you want to...it just takes planning!
PRIOR to the first class on February 21:
You must purchase the pattern and bring it printed out on 8.5" x 11" paper or large format paper if you go to a print shop.
You will need scissors and scotch tape for the first class.
Bring a sharpie if you plan to trace your pattern onto tissue paper. The tissue paper will be provided.
If you have your fabric selected or quilt already quilted, you can bring that to class to do a mock layout to see if the jacket pattern pieces fit the quilt. This is not necessary!
For the first class you do not need your machine.
ALL quilts and quilted fabric need to be washed prior to cutting out jacket pieces.
We will not be cutting the pattern out of the fabric in the first class so you will have time between classes (between February 21 and March 21) to get that done.
You will need a small project that is quilted and ready for binding.
Come to class with:
Your machine
Usual sewing items, i.e. scissors, pins or clips, etc.
Walking foot
Small project to bind
Fabric to make binding -DO NOT CUT OR MAKE YOUR BINDING IN ADVANCE
