Class Supply List
Class Project Materials:
It’s recommended to purchase woven beginner fabric for both
projects. Fabric and interfacing yardage is dependent on pattern
size, please refer to recommendations on pattern package and class
supply list. Fusible interfacing with a weight that will support your
fashion fabric weight should be purchased, ask associate for
assistance if needed. Suggested interfacing for both projects is
lightweight fusible.
I recommend purchasing both required commercial patterns but
waiting to purchase other project materials needed until assignment is given. This will require additional trips to the store. If
project materials are purchased before the semester please follow
my project material recommendations and required materials
outlined on pattern package and class supply list. Fabric Cost is
dependent on yardage and quality of fabric. If you shop around you
can find some nice inexpensive fabric for these two projects.
