Class, The Making Waves Vest

Making Waves Vest Class

A 2-day class

Wed., Oct. 8 and 22

10:00AM - 5:00PM

Unapologetically Canadian, this vest is all about self-expression and making a statement! Join us to create your very own Making Waves Vest, a one-of-a-kind garment that seamlessly blends the striking design of Brenda Miller's "Making Waves Table Decor" pattern with a custom-fitted vest.

Our talented teacher, Sandra Thomas, believes that "quilting is all about expressing ourselves," and this class is the perfect opportunity to do just that. You'll master the unique techniques of the Making Waves pattern as you construct beautiful, flowing panels that truly look like waves. Then, under Sandra's expert guidance, you'll learn how to transform those panels into a stylish, wearable vest that fits you perfectly.

This class is a wonderful challenge for anyone looking to create a functional and personalized piece of quilted art. You'll leave with a beautiful new vest and the skills to tackle your next wearable project with confidence.
