SUPPLY LIST FOR CRAZY QUILT SWEATSHIRT
SUPPLY LIST FOR CRAZY QUILT SWEATSHIRT
Pattern available at Quilt Patch –bag lunch and drink
Sweatshirt that fits, but still has a little room since we will be splitting it down the front.
Wash the sweatshirt and dry it.
Fabrics that harmonize or contrast with the color of your sweatshirt. Scraps are great for this project. The more variety the better. You will be making 4-inch squares.
1 yard of muslin for the foundation of the crazy quilt squares.
One half yard of fabric for binding and side panels
Tracing paper, newsprint or tissue paper to make a pattern for the front of the sweatshirt
Pencil
Paper scissors
Sewing machine in good working order and a new needle
Basic Sewing Supplies/extension cord
If your machine has the capability of sewing fancy stitches, bring different colors of thread to decorate the finished seams. If you wish bring metallics, but they can be difficult to work with, so if you have not sewed with these threads go for cotton threads, variegated if you wish. If the threads are thick or if you are using metallic bring a topstitch needle. These are usually found at JoAnne’s or G Street.
If your machine is a featherweight, laces or trims will be used instead of the fancy stitches. We will only be decorating the front of sweatshirt with crazy quilt blocks and decorations. I suggest small laces, trims or ribbon—nothing overpowering.
Thread to match your fabric and sweatshirt.
Buttons 4-5 no larger than 1 inch
Iron and mat if not supplied
To help move the class along a little faster, if you wish, take your scraps or fabric pieces and cut them into strips 1.5 inches, 1.75 inches, and 1.25inches. You may sew the strips together if you wish, mix up the colors and sizes of the strips. We will cut the blocks from the fabric that you are making.
Bring a rotary cutter, a small cutting mat, ruler and an extension cord for your machine
