Are you ready to explore making a quilt from the outside in?

Join Jen Strauser and explore a machine-made variation on the art of Kawandi style quilting! You'll learn at your own pace in this on-demand, pre-recorded, virtual class. Jen will lead you through everything from selecting fabrics and tools to finishing a Kawandi style quilt on your sewing machine.

What is a Kawandi Quilt?

Kawandi Quilts are a traditional craft practiced by African Diaspora peoples in Western India. Traditional Kawandi are made from recycled saris. They are constructed from the outside in with hand stitching, which makes them a unique change of pace from western quilting traditions. If you love the idea of Kawandi style quilting, but would prefer to use your sewing machine, this class is for you. 

About the Class

In this series of videos I will show you how to get started on your own mini Kawandi style quilt. I will demonstrate the techniques I am familiar with, from beginning with the finished edges, adding decorative pops of color, filling the belly of the Kawandi, and completing your piece with decorative phula.

Over an hour of instructional videos are included! Videos are broken down into small portions for easy reference, so you can go back to re-watch a specific part if you want to.

Included in this virtual class are instructions for different projects you can make with your new technique (coaster, table runner, and baby quilt), along with the option for a bonus project bag pattern.

Also included is a "feed" where students can ask questions, post progress photos, and interact with each other. Jen monitors the feed to respond to your questions.

Skill Level. This class is suitable for all quilters. No experience necessary.
