Description:
Meet spring in style with this super trendy jacket! Workwear-inspired, the Paola jacket combines fashion with practical, everyday wear. Featuring straight boxy fit with 2 large patch pockets, it pairs well with just about everything. Choose a quilt that is already quilted (old or new-that you are willing to cut up), quilt fabric yardage or make your own blocks to create this wonderful addition to your wardrobe.

Supplies needed for the class:

With the above yardage, wash outside and lining fabric, then sandwich it together, quilt it, zigzag the raw edges, and wash and dry it. You do not want it to shrink after you make your coat.

BEFORE CLASS:
? You MUST have your quilt/fabric quilted, WASHED & DRIED before class.
? Download & print out the pattern from the link above, plus the sewing pattern instructions. It’s a free pattern.
? Make sure that you print page 5 first, before the pattern (the one with the 2” square) actual size, 100%, no scaling. If the square does not measure 2”, your pattern will print out the incorrect size.
? Tape together your pattern pieces and bring it all to class.
? I adjusted the length of the coat and the sleeves, as well as enlarged the pocket - I will bring a template for you to trace for the pocket. We will talk about the rest of the adjustments in class.
? Bring your sewing machine the 1st day, we might get to sew towards the end of class of class
