What you will need to participate in this course.
​
A SEWING MACHINE
Nothing fancy, we are going to use a simple functional and easy-to-use machine. My favorite and the most value for your money is the BROTHER Sewing/Quilting Machine. If you don't have one this is an amazing machine. We have a few in the studio for light work, buttonholes are easy peasy, and it comes with decorative stitches for our creative work.​
​
Fabric Scissors
Thread clipper
Measuring Tape
Fabric Pen
Pins (dressmaking are short and sharp, Quilting needles are lone and stronger. I use both.
A cutting surface - table about 45+" long, your dining room table. If you have none of the above the floor works too.
Needles - machine and hand sewing
Thread - Polyester for machine sewing, silk or cotton for hand sewing.
