Learners are welcome to come to their first live class without materials if they’d like help brainstorming a project idea.  

If you’d like to dive right in, please come to class with 4-5 coordinating fabrics.  In total, you’ll need about 1.5 yards of fabric to make up the front of a quilted blanket.

Threads and Notions:  We’ve shared a few links for products.  You don’t need those specific ones.  We’ve included them as examples and to make shopping easier, if you’d like.  However, if you have a similar item on hand, you are welcome to use those!
◘100% polyester thread
◘A spare sewing machine needle - They can break, so it is always good to have a spare on hand.  
◘Straight pins or clips - https://a.co/d/55vsI4l or https://a.co/d/5nCbqrj 
◘Good quality scissors (Good quality isn’t code for expensive…. Quality, budget scissors exist!)  https://a.co/d/2Q8h1Vd 
◘Iron and ironing board or pad - An ironing board is ideal if your learner wishes to progress with sewing and tackle more advanced projects.  However, an ironing pad will work great for this project.  https://a.co/d/hfV7b4m
