SUPPLY LIST FOR INTRO TO THE MACHINE CLASS
- a notepad or other method to take notes
- your machine, its foot pedal, power cord, manual and attachments (unless you are renting one of mine)
- spool of "all purpose" polyester thread (Coats or Gutermann brand )
SUPPLY LIST FOR ALTERATIONS CLASS
- This is a project based class, so bring 2 or 3 projects of your choice to work on, i.e., hemming, taking in pants, skirts or a dress, or shortening sleeves.
- A spool of all-purpose Coats, Gutermann or Mettler brand polyester thread to match each of your garment (s). We don't recommend using old/cheap thread (i.e., Trusew or Singer brand or those little travel spools)--do a break test if you are unsure of the age of your thread. If it breaks easily you won’t want to use it on your project.
- Your sewing machine, the foot pedal/power cord, any attachments and the manual if you have it. (unless you've rented one from me)

SUPPLY LIST FOR COPY A GARMENT CLASS
- Your garment (s) to copy. I recommend bringing 2 or 3 to choose from.
- ball-head pins (no all metal pins please)
- sharp pencils and erasers
- Enough fabric to make your garment in a similar type and weight (Keep in mind that this is a "test" garment, which you will most likely be able to wear, but I recommend using an inexpensive material for the first garment. Here is a good article on how to figure out how much material you will need.
- about 1/2 yard of fusible non-woven interfacing in a weight slightly lighter than your garment
- a spool of all-purpose Coats or Gutermann polyester thread in a color to match your garment
- extra sewing machine needles in a variety of sizes
- If you have them, a styling design ruler and seam/hem gauge
- don't forget to wash and dry your fabric before class if you plan on washing/drying your finished garment.
- Also, bring your sewing machine, the foot pedal/power cord, any attachments and the manual if you have it. (we may only get through copying the garment and cutting it out on the first day, but bring it just in case)
SUPPLY LIST FOR TOTES & PILLOWS CLASS
For the pillow:
- One 14" to 16" square pillow to cover or pillow form (available at Joann or Beverly fabrics)

Some fabrics say 44" wide on the bolt but may actually be less. If you are unsure, measure the width before purchasing.
