Make a T-Shirt Quilt

Gather those t-shirts and use them to make a lap/twin size quilt! Learn how to stabilize those stretchy knits and explore interesting settings. This is a 2-part class: Session 1 is all about preparing shirts for a quilt (cutting graphic elements and stabilizing them), and planning your layout. In Session 2 you'll trim the t-shirt blocks, finalize the layout, and begin sewing the quilt. Remember to read the Supply list and come 15 minutes early to set up your workstation (i.e. sewing machine, etc.).
