Sew a Quilted Vest

In this two-day workshop, you will learn to sew the Quilted Wool Vest by Purl Soho.  We will cover all the steps required to construct the vest, and you will leave with a complete or nearly complete garment.  The goal of the weekend is to improve your sewing skills, learn the basic steps of garment construction, and boost your confidence to continue sewing your own wardrobe. We will do our best to get everyone to the finish line with their vests, but we will make sure you have the skills needed to finish it on your own if you don’t complete it over the 2-day workshop.

You will learn new skills, including:

Finding the right pattern size

Basic quilting techniques

Bias binding armholes, edges, and seams

Hand-finishing seams with a slip stitch
