Quilt Coats

TUTOR: LORENA URIARTE

Do you have a quilt that no longer sparks joy? Or want to be warm and cosy in the latest cottage core trend? This two-day class is for you! Learn how to confidently transform a quilt or quilted panels into a quilt coat.

Students may use a completed quilt, pre-quilted fabric or specifically make quilted panels according to the coat pattern requirements.

Students will learn:

  • How to choose the right pattern
  • How quilting and wadding can affect drape
  • How to cut pattern pieces including collar, hood, and pocket options (if applicable)
  • How to sew together a quilt coat
  • Bias-binding application to seams
  • Demonstration of buttonhole and press stud closures

The expected outcome of this class is that students will leave with a completed quilt coat. Some students may need to complete final binding-stitching at home.
