Parental Guidance
Please note that students should have the impulse control and fine motor skills needed to safely use scissors and sharp needles to participate in this class.
Pre-Requisites
Learners should be able to use scissors, grasp a needle, and have the fine motor skills to thread a needle (with or without assistance.)
Supply List
Students should come to class with a small, sharp sewing needle, spool of multi-purpose thread, scissors, and three pieces of woven (not stretchy!), solid colored, 100% cotton fabric measuring approximately 8x8" (a single "fat quarter" is sufficient!) It is especially helpful to new sewists to have a solid fabric and a thread in a contrasting color, so they can see their stitches as they practice!
