Turn Your Quilt into a Coat Workshop

...with Lorena Uriarte on Sat 27th & Sun 28th September 2025

I am delighted to host the very talented Lorena Uriarte from Sydney, Australia in this fantastic two day workshop turning a quilt into a coat.

If you have any quilts that no longer spark joy, turn them into a coat! In this workshop, you will learn how to transform your quilts into cosy, stylish coats using a pattern suitable for most sizes.
This is a hands on, two-day class where you will cut quilts and sew them into a wearable garment. You can use a quilt you’ve already made, pre-quilted fabric, or make quilted panels specifically for this purpose. It’s a wonderful opportunity to repurpose orphan blocks and unfinished projects.
We will cover a variety of pocket, button, collar, and hood options. You will also learn how different waddings, quilting styles, and linings affect the look and feel of your final quilted coat.
By the end of the workshop, students should have constructed a quilt coat, though some binding may need to be finished at home.

What you will need:

A quilt or quilted panels with at least 60” x 60” of useable quilted space
Your own pattern (recommended: the Tamarack Jacket by Grainline Studio, the Patchwork Chore Coat by Patchwork & Poodles, or the Elemental Coat by Crinkle Dreams—each available as a PDF)
A sewing machine capable of sewing thick seams, a walking foot or dual feed system is recommended.

Further requirements and considerations will be provided with the supplies list.

2 days of workshops 10am-4pm in Boston Spa, West Yorkshire.
