Quilted Jacket Class by Lola and Viv Designs
Please read the supply list carefully!
Class supplies as listed and you MUST be prepared before class. Without them, you won't be able to make your jacket.
- Vintage or modern quilts should be washed and dried prior to class. If using fabric or a pieced quilt top, they MUST be quilted prior to class. You can use a vintage quilt, a modern quilt, a store bought one, a Kantha quilt, a nice wool blanket...most anything goes. You can even take 3 yards of your fabric fabric and quilt it as is.
- You will need "binding" to be placed around the body, neck or hood, and cuffs of your jacket. This can be solid, printed, or scrappy and does not require to be cut on a bias; however, if cut on the bias it will be slightly stretchy. Purchased bias tape is not suitable for this project and you will need at a minimum 250” (6-7 strips WOF) of prepared 2 1/4" or 2 1/2" binding prior to class.
- Optional: 1 yard of coordinating binding or 5/8” ribbon for the neckline.

Instructor Bio: | I am an avid sewist with a penchant for upcycling and reusing. I like to keep busy, so I sew (a lot), piece, longarm quilt, and design. An Independent Maker, I work and design in a chaotic creative space I call my home studio. I love vintage and modern textiles, especially vintage quilts, and upcycle them into one-of-a-kind, wearable art. I became very prolific with finding, designing, and making jackets and bags. So much so that my friends and family started buying them. Long story short, Lola and Viv Designs was born. I love to teach and share my knowledge and passion with others. I have taught in academic and professional settings my entire adult life, and I also teach bag-making, quilting, and sewing classes. I love all fabrics and textiles and have turned my passion into a creative business. The fusion of vintage and modern textiles and my commitment to upcycling add a unique touch to my creations, making them not just products but carriers of history and emotion. I am dedicated to preserving and repurposing old quilt tops, quilts, and textiles in every aspect of my work. I am increasingly inspired by ways to use different fabrics, upcycling, and searching high and low in antique and secondhand shops for old quilt tops, quilts, and textiles. I am dedicated to preserving and repurposing old textiles, adding a special touch to my creations that honor the history behind each piece. I believe that every quilt has a story, and I am just narrating that tale. |
