Make Your Own Quilted
Jacket Workshop

Diana Karna

Friday & Saturday, May 22 & 23, 2026

10:00 am to 1 pm (Arizona Time)

$70 for members

This interactive Zoom workshop will be split over 2 three hour sessions on Friday and Saturday.

Following Diana's instructive lecture last month on designing and customizing your coat and her pattern, you'll sew your coats together step by step, with clear, close-up instruction so everyone can follow along with confidence. You'll get personalized guidance throughout the process - from measurements and sizing, assembling your quilted pieces, to adding the finishing details.

By the end of the workshop, you'll have a finished (or nearly finished) quilted coat that fits you well and reflects your unique quilting style. It's a fun and rewarding workshop as we watch each other's amazing creations come alive.

Wear your custom coat out into the world!

Required Pattern Purchase (in addition to workshop fee!)
Per Diana's licensing agreement with the pattern maker, each workshop participant must purchase a physical pattern. The pattern cost including shipping is $35. The pattern includes:

Hi! I’m so happy when I’m sewing—it’s truly my happy place. I started several years ago sewing garments, and from there, it was an easy segue into quilting. Now I combine my love for both by teaching students how to sew their own custom quilted coats—wearable art that’s both personal and practical. I offer a lecture that dives into the pattern with all of its options, I share best practices for measuring to ensure the best fit, and I explain the different finishing options and special touches like adding collars and hoods. The workshop focuses on pattern cutting and coat construction with live demos to guide you through the tricky bits. My goal is to help you feel confident translating your unique voice into your wearable art.
