Embroidery - August Class Project # 3
Split Sweatshirt Jacket
Objectives - Our goal is to teach you how to:
-
learn embroidery designs placement, both where to place & how to obtain accuracy
-
combine designs
-
proper stabilizing for knit fleece
-
balancing motifs for a pleasing effect
-
learn how to split a closed top & finish the edges.
This project is to create a cardigan
jacket from a sweatshirt that will be
embellished with embroidery. A raglan sleeve or set in sleeve sweatshirt will
work with this method, but is not included in the kit & will have to be
purchased by each person. A *good quality* sweatshirt is essential to the
success of this project. The cut edges of the sweatshirt will be finished with
wide bias tape. For those with more advanced sewing skills there is an option
to finish the center front of the sweatshirt with a zipper. [We have been
given permission by Jan Boggan to use her instructions for applying a zipper.

PROJECT THEMES:
In order to finish the kit that will be required to participate in the project,

 |
2] 116 Fall Miracles for beginner/intermediate
who want to scatter + some
appliqué as well as filled motifs. I used these on a jacket & "smattered"
metallic thread for highlights--beautiful results! |
 |
3] 112 Decidedly Different for intermediate /advanced
embroidery & placement
experience to combine larger motifs OR to simply scatter. Will require
re-hooping & placement skills if you have a smaller embroidery field. |
 |
4] 117 Japanese Botanicals [for intermediate/advanced
embroidery & placement
experience & those who like to do combining & mini scenes. Again, will require
re-hooping & placement skills if you have a smaller embroidery field.

News Special - New Lessons / Projects starting Soon -
Don't miss out - See how to participate below
Our new project has a lots of options,
so that everyone can join in - even beginners can get the help they need
from Sandy and others who are doing this project just for the fun of it.
We think it's more enjoyable when we can share our experiences and pictures
of our projects with others. This project has broad appeal with the options
for everyone from experts to beginner sewists.
There is an easier version with little sewing, & 4 design options
and lots of options for placement of designs. Sandy gives us the scoop on
stabilizers to make it a quality project that you will be proud to wear
when it is finished. This one should give us plenty of opportunities
to share our experiences and our finished projects. You will be able
to let your creativity shine under the direction and guidance of Sandy and
using her beautiful designs.
