Upcycled Quilted Hoodie
Make a Custom Hoodie from a Recycled Textile or Quilt
Turn a loved quilt or rescued textile into a one-of-a-kind, wearable hoodie.
Learn to make a custom hoodie from a recycled textile or quilt. This is a great way to utilize recycled textiles and quilts to make a one-of-a-kind garment. Whether it’s a quilt you made or one you’ve rescued, you’ll leave this class with a unique piece and the confidence to sew your own garments.
This is an excellent option for experienced quilters to learn a brand-new skill. It also highlights the importance of minimizing material waste and its impact on the planet—a fresh take on making items that last by reusing existing ones.
