It's not your grandmother's patchwork technique! Some
years ago rotary cutting made it possible to sew a quilt
in a day. The '10-minute' block technique allows you to
create big blocks with a diamond center - and - guess
what! Those edges can be coaxed to curve without
sewing any curved seams. Let Kathy show you how.
Classes Meet: In Muscatine
Sat., June 9 9:30am - 3:30pm

| Jane's Favorite Blouse Class |
This pattern truly is Jane's favorite blouse pattern. It is a basic
blouse with an easy fit and 6 different looks. Jane will help you fit
the pattern to you. This pattern has been discontinued but Jane
collected patterns before this happened and will sell you the
pattern on the day of class. If you already have McCall’s 5052,
you will not need to purchase it from Jane. She will bring a ‘trunk
show’ of the many ways that she has changed the pattern. Once
the pattern fits you, you can have a whole wardrobe of blouses
using the same pattern without looking like you have used the
same pattern. The most important part of this class is getting your
pattern to fit. You will have some sewing at home afterwards to
finish the blouse. Class size is limited so sign up early! You
must pay for the class to reserve your spot!
