Here is sixty minutes of compact fun and creativity.
Everything you can do with a sweatshirt whether you see
the sweatshirt or not, it’s there somewhere. This is the
class that Barbara is known for, she has been teaching
all over the country, just when you think you can’t do
anything with that old sweatshirt, it’s stained, maybe
it has a hole in it. Maybe it’s just ugly but you got a
good price! Whatever reason you got stuck with those old
shirts here is the answer.
This class goes over every detail in making jackets that
are just appliquéd and needle felted, to stadium jackets
that you don’t see the sweatshirts, using wools, wool
felts, cotton, old, jeans and more, to long duster coats
(inspired by a Legend in movies and Television) but
using sweatshirts and fabrics and creative ideas for
embellishing. And for those of you out there that are
like Barbara, and you know who you are, “buttonhole
phobic's “ she has alternatives to them.
Last but certainly not least, this is a wonderful class
for those who don’t, sew much! If you’re a novice or if
you are a seasoned sewer there is something here for all
of you. This classes introduces you into a world of
using what we have on hand, somewhere in our closets,
drawers and more.

 Is this jacket really made from a sweatshirt? This is the
most commonly asked question at Moonlight Designs. The
answer is: Yes! This beautiful jacket uses the
sweatshirt for the jacket base and the pattern pieces.
This is the perfect pattern for showing off those
wonderful Asian Fabrics or large prints you’ve been
dying to use but didn’t want to cut up! We will also be
learning to make dimensional prairie points and accents.
Bring note-taking material because Jerri has a wealth of
information on wearable art and proclaims to know just
about every short cut around!
Please check out my new website!
www.moonlightdesignquilts.com
Bring to class:
Diamonds On The Prairie Jacket Pattern (available in
class for ½ price of $5.00)
One Sweatshirt with Set-In Sleeves-should be your
regular size (does not need to be high quality and can
be an old used one too) - but not too thick. If you
decided not to line the jacket – it will need to be a
fairly new sweatshirt.
Please have your sweatshirt cut apart per the
instructions of this supply sheet!
Kits will be available in class for $50.00.
There will be several color ways to choose from
in Batiks and Oriental Prints. You can also check out
the website to see some options. As it gets closer to
January the number of color kits will increase with what
comes in December.
Neutral Thread for sewing Patchwork (I would bring
black, white, beige, gray)
Decorative Rayon Threads to match the 2 Main Fabrics
(bring several colors, I will bring some to in case you
need something different)
505 of KK2000 Basting Spray (available for sale
in class for $13.00)
Chalk (really good quality- like clover Chalk-o-liner or
similar)
Rotary Cutter & Mat
6 X 24 Ruler
Scissors for cutting fabric and snipping threads
Seam Ripper
Irons and Boards will be provided – however if you have
a small iron and board, feel free to bring it with you.
Straight Pins
Pretty Beads for holding the prairie points together. We
won’t get this far in class – but you can bring some to
show off it you’d like!
** Sewing machines with ¼” foot, open toe
foot, and walking foot. New Machine Needles (regular
sewing like 90/14) are sponsored by Bernina of OKC
Prewash sweatshirt.
Preparing Your Sweatshirt:
Using scissors or rotary cutter—cut off ribbing at the
bottom edge of the sweatshirt.
Hold sweatshirt up by the shoulder seams allowing it to
hang perfectly straight. Lay it carefully down onto a
flat ironing surface. Iron across the body and put good
creases in what would normally be side seams. Carefully
fold shirt in half matching the shoulders, neckline, and
sleeves right sides together. Iron well making another
crease right down the center of the body. Open back up
and using scissors cut up the Front Only on that creased
line -from the bottom edge to the neckline.
Leave the back as one piece!
Remove the ribbing from the neckline and sleeves using
the same method as above.
Remove the sleeves. Cut the underarm seams so that the
sleeve now lays flat. Press.
Cut the shoulder seams on the remaining body. Lay shirt
on a flat surface and cut away the front panels from the
back at the creases on the sides of the body that you
ironed previously.
You should now have 2 fronts, 1 back, and 2 sleeves.
Author’s Note:
At this point—I basted the sweatshirt back together
using a 1/2” seam and tried it on. I wanted to check the
fit and to check the sleeve length. I know many people
who make beautiful wearables and never wear them because
they don’t fit. I think that this is an important
step—but you can skip it if you want. If the jacket is
only slightly too large—use a 3/4” seam allowance. If it
is much too big—you will need to cut it down—but be
careful—once you cut you can’t put it back! I found that
you can cut the outside edges of the front and the back
by following the same shape as the original sweatshirt—I
took about 1/2” off the front sides and both sides of
the back while still maintaining the same shape of the
armhole. Baste the jacket together again and try it on.
You’ll be surprised that the sleeves will fit better
too. Once you figure out your size then you can go buy
more of that same sweatshirt—because I’m going to be
making many more sweatshirt patterns that I’m sure you
are going to like!
