T-Shirt Quilt Prep Class

Class Description: This is a technique class. You will learn how to prepare your favorite t-shirts to use in
a quilt. We will be preparing t-shirts and exploring resources and possible layouts. Chrissy will show you
how to use prepared t-shirts for quilt. A pre-requisite for this class is Sewing 101, and all fabric and
interfacing are to be purchased at Five Eighth Seams.
Pattern/Book: Chrissy will provide you a handout with reminders and tips
Fabric Requirements:
 Entire T-Shirts DO NOT CUT them prior to class. Bring several but it is not imperative for you
to bring them all since we are only going over the technique of preparing the t-shirt for your
quilt
 Fusible Interfacing Pellon SF101 Shap-Flex Cotton Woven Fusible or Pellon 906F Fusible; if you
intend to eventually make the whole quilt, you will need at lead 5 yards of fusible interfacing
Sewing supplies:
 Rotary cutter
 22” or longer ruler
 Fabric scissorsthese will be used to take t-shirt apart so your best scissors aren’t necessary
 12 x 12 or 14 x14 larger square ruler; you may also get one large sheet of template plastic and a
fine line marker to make a block/t-shirt template
 Machine is optional this class as is thread; it is unlikely that you will be fully prepped with the t-
shirts to start sewing
 Pressing cloth: this is for pressing the t-shirts so that the design does not melt off; this can be a
large piece of scrap fabric or muslin
