Skill Level: Everyone.jpg)
Learn how easy it is to apply color using colored
pencils to a small, already quilted piece, ready for
painting. You don’t have to be an artist, just try to
paint what you see. Irena is not afraid of using bold
colors and stark contrast to create a drama. Also learn
how to do the shading in order to make your designs look
dimensional. Irena feels very passionate about what she
is doing and loves sharing her experiences, the good
along with the bad, so you don’t have to go through the
pain of learning the lessons the hard way... like
she
did.
Kit fee $35.00 - paid at the
beginning of the class to the Instructor.
Kit includes:
Quilted panel, box of 24 pencils, 2 oz bottle of Textile
Medium, 6-piece brush set, CD with instructions, CD with
photographs of Irena’s work, 1 oz. plastic dispenser cup
with lid, pattern package of 12.
No other
supplies are needed

 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.
You will be using batik fabrics for this jacket because
they fray less than others. This jacket has freeform
cutting and NO PIECING! We will be using your decorative
stitches and some couching to bring this great jacket to
life! 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:
Crazy Curves Jacket Pattern
(available in class for ½ price of $5.00)
One
Sweatshirt with Set-In Sleeves
-should be your
regular size or one size larger (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
on 2nd page of this supply sheet!
Kits
will be available in class for $45.00.
There will be
several color ways to choose from in Batiks. The kits
will also include some yarns for couching. I will also
bring some lining fabrics – if you choose to line your
jacket – 2 ½ Yard pieces will be $22.00. 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.

white, beige, gray)

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!
