Little Gilly Quilts will be offering 4 separate weeklong T-Shirt Quilt Camp sessions this summer for kids 8 years old and up here at my studio on Henderson RD/Williamstown. Students can bring 10-15 t-shirts/sweatshirts to transform and customize into a unique, one-of-a-kind quilty masterpiece T-Shirt Quilt! The finished TSQ will be in the Throw-size range (approximately 50" x 50"). This will be a terrific way to Recycle & Repurpose their personal collection of t-shirts & sweatshirts that no longer fit them! 🙌🏻
The materials fee will be $250, which will cover ALL of the other materials necessary to finish the quilt, including the fabric for the backing, binding, cotton batting (fluffy middle part), thread, and the machine quilting on the specialized Bernina Longarm sewing machine--all of which is provided here at my studio.
Students will receive one-on-one instruction on how to properly CUT their shirts, PUZZLE them into a custom layout, and PIECE them together as they learn basic sewing machine skills. Half-day and Full-day slots will be available: 8:30am - 12:30pm and 1pm - 5pm. Maximum of 3 students per day. Snacks will be provided to all students, and a nutritious lunch will be provided for all Full-day students.
Half-day tuition is $400 ($20 per hour x 4 hours / $80 per day)
Full-day tuition is $800 ($20 per hour x 8 hours / $160 per day)
Note: Full-day students will likely have time to complete another smaller project TBD--probably a small pillow using leftover t-shirt remnants.
Session 1: June 24-28
Session 2: July 22-26
Session 3: August 12-16
Session 4: August 19-23
