Students will need to purchase fabric, thread, and notions:

Approximately 2-4 yards of Cloak Fabric - Preferably woven fabric such as mid-to-heavy weight linen or lightweight wool/wool blends.
(More or less may be needed, depending upon the students height and the width of the fabric. For reference: at a height of 5'5" I will purchase 3 yards of this 57" wide linen: https://fabrics-store.com/fabrics/linen-fabric-4C22-moss-softened-heavy)

1 spool of Thread to match fabric

1 Extra Large Hook & Eye 
(For closure at neck. Dritz 767-11 Extra-Large Covered Hook & Eye Closures  tend to be easy to find... but there are lots of different ones available, some more decorative than others, and any you choose is fine!)


STUDENTS SHOULD ALSO HAVE:
Fabric Scissors
Thread Snips or Embroidery Scissors
Hand Sewing Needles in assorted sizes
Straight Pins (and pincushion/magnet)
Thimble 
Flexible Tape Measure
Pencil 
Roll of Craft or Wrapping Paper (bonus if it has a 1" grid on the back!)


PLEASE NOTE: I understand that some fabric can be VERY cost prohibitive! It is never my intention to make costuming or historic sewing beyond anyone's grasp by demanding exorbitantly expensive supplies. Historic and movie accurate fabrics can be *wonderful* to work with... but please know that there are truly amazing pieces that have been made from thrifted bed sheets, old curtains, and discount fabric! Choose what works for YOU and your budget, makes you happy, and feels nice against your skin. Remember that natural fibers are always cooler in hot weather, and often hold up better to washing. I aim to help students create a useful and attractive garment... and quality fabric helps the finished product look and feel the best it can... but what is more important is that they are learning the skills to construct them and they offer their best efforts. :)

Students will be using sharp scissors, needles, and pins. 
They should have the impulse control and patience to work carefully with these items.
