The Beauty of Denim - Improv study

  • Blue Bar Quilts 6333 University Avenue Middleton, WI, 53562 United States (map)

Registration is through Blue Bar Quilts. https://www.bluebarquilts.com/module/class/234404/the-beauty-of-denim---an-improv-study

We will use improvisation to create a dynamic jean quilt that is visually striking, encourages sustainability, and ignites your creativity. Use, re-use, and up-cycle have never looked this great! As sewists, we have a unique opportunity to deconstruct the unused into something practical, while keeping clothing from the landfill or sitting in warehouses for years. Finding new uses for worn-out or unused clothing offers a remarkable opportunity for creative outlets both in home decor and reimagining wearables. In this class we will focus on the beauty of the blues, and improv style, using simple shapes that lead to a cohesive panel or quilt top. The durability of denim makes it the perfect candidate to explore beauty and function. It also opens future possibilities for sustainable practices in our everyday life.
