Description
We will start with clothing and end with a quilt. This class focuses on all the steps from
garment through a finished quilt top. The goal here is to learn how to use a material that is a
bit unusual and create something fun and dynamic and build a skill set that can include
fabrics from family members or rad found garments or just save a buck by getting it at
the thrift store. LUKE will show you some efficient ways of getting fabric from garments
and then we will go through some prompts to create an abstract top that uses the
qualities of the fabric to create a small quilt.

The Fabric Chic in Parkville
Materials needed:
– two garments that match in color and a contrasting garment. so like two dark blue
shirts and an orange pair of pants or a red skirt and two light yellow shirts. [ if you don’t
have clothing, 2 yards of matching fabric and a contrasting color of fabric that is 1/2
yard or bigger]. I suggest shirts from goodwill if you don’t have anything at home. I
would shy away from stretchy, thick, or too slippery, as those are more difficult to work
with
– a sewing machine
– a rotary cutter
– a cutting mat
– a ruler no less than 24″
– black thread or thread to match the main color of the project
– access to an iron with an ironing board
