Have you seen the coats made of blankets at the markets or down the street? Do you have an old blanket and don't know what to do with it?
In the class you will cut out and sew up a simple coat with front pockets. The coat doesn't have lining, so that is a time saver.
Included in the price is a choice of the lovely coloured blankets I have.
Get ready for winter with your own individual coat, made by you.
