The Quilted Garment Challenge
As part of our annual design challenge to the Association of Sewing and Design Professionals, Threads asked: What do you get when you sew two-or more-fabric layers together? We wanted to see how this group of talented designers would interpret an age-old sewing technique in modern, stylish garments. The association’s members provided us with many answers, revealing the depth and breadth of their creativity. Threads asked: What do you get when you sew two-or more-fabric layers together?
