Description
This course will teach you all you need to know to make your very own quilt or, perhaps you’d like to make this as a gift for someone else. This pattern, in particular, is transformed completely by colour choices. I’ve included examples to show this amazing effect.
YOUR PROJECT:
THE SINGLE IRISH CHAIN LAP QUILT
The centerpiece of this exciting course is the highly popular “Single Irish Chain” quilt pattern. By sewing strip sets, you’ll create a timeless design that magically transforms before your eyes. As you piece together your quilt, you’ll discover why this has been a firm favourite for generations of Quilters.
Because everyone has their own personal taste, we ask you to bring your own coloured fabrics for your quilt – that way you can choose colours that will coordinate beautifully with your own home. As you can see from some of the photos in this class listing, fabrics can have an enormous impact on the finished piece. Choose fabrics that you love, and you will end up with a beautiful quilt that you will love for years to come. You will need 1 Jelly Roll of fabric that will pop against the white fabric provided by Jacki.
You Will Learn:
- how to cut patchwork fabric correctly
- how to use a rotary cutter
- how to use a patchwork ruler
- how to piece
- how to pin
- how to nest seams to achieve crisp points

YOU WILL NEED TO BRING:

SKILL LEVEL:
Level 1 – you need to know how to use a sewing machine to attend this workshop
This is perfect as a first quilt project and only requires a basic working knowledge of a sewing machine i.e., how to thread the machine and wind the bobbin.
This class is suitable for ages 13 and up! If you are booking for a teen who is perhaps a bit nervous to come on their own, they are welcome to bring a chaperone (please do let me know in advance so I can keep an eye on numbers). Or even better, why not book a spot for you to learn along with them!
