Bella Quilted Coat

Class Description

Build this relaxed fit quilted coat, available in ten sizes. It's fully lined and features set-in sleeves, inseam pockets, a zippered front closure with guard, and a sporty collar that is stylish and functional. Choose from two views and get creative styling your coat with appliqué, foundation paper piecing, or blockwork. Previous garment construction experience is not required for this class – you will be amazed at how quickly and easily the coat comes together. The Bella Quilt Coat Pattern is required for this class. There two optional pattern expansion packs available. Review the design elements in each to decide how you will style your coat. Friday, May 1 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. This is an optional one-day class. It will include an introduction to foundation paper piecing, along with color planning and a general introduction to the pattern. Any paper piecing embellishment must be completed before the three-day construction class. (No supplies needed at this point) Thursday, Friday, Saturday, June 4, 5, and 6 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. The Bella Coat construction class will be a 3-day class. Day 1 will be quilting the panels (may be done before class if desired), cutting out the coat, and applying any embellishments such as the FPP. Days 2 and 3 will be constructing the jacket. You will be able to complete the coat in class. You may leave early any day, if needed, but please arrive on time for the classes. Supply list: - Bella Quilt Coat Pattern by Quilting Elissa.
