Cathedral Window
June 30th
Step into the art of fabric folding and precision stitching with this immersive class on the cathedral window sewing technique. Known for its elegant, dimensional design, this method creates the illusion of stained glass windows using carefully folded fabric and strategic hand or machine stitching—without traditional quilting or batting.
In this class, you’ll be guided step-by-step through the entire process, from preparing your base squares to mastering the folds that form the iconic “window” frames. You’ll learn how to secure layers neatly, add decorative center panels, and achieve clean, professional finishes. Tips on color placement, contrast, and pattern layout will help bring your project to life.
Whether you’re new to sewing or looking to expand your skill set, this class offers a rewarding and creative experience. By the end, you’ll have completed a small cathedral window project—such as a pillow cover, table topper, or quilt block—and gained the confidence to incorporate this stunning technique into future creations.
