Laura Jacket

 Patchwork Laura Jacket – Part 1: Design, Piece & Quilt

Create a one-of-a-kind quilted jacket with the beautiful Laura Jacket pattern by Melly & Me. This wearable project is the perfect way to showcase your favorite fabric collection, curated fat quarter bundle, or treasured scraps.

In Part 1, you'll create your patchwork fabric, cut out your pattern pieces, and quilt the fabric in preparation for garment construction. A second class will be held to assemble the jacket.

Please note: Prep work is required before class. Before attending, students must select their jacket size, prepare their pattern pieces, and cut their fabric into rectangles measuring 4½" high by 2½" wide. Complete prep instructions will be provided after registration.
