Learner Supplies
1.	Sewing kit-  A box or basket to hold sewing utensils. It could be a shoe box or a fancy sewing box.  Scissors- make sure you get good scissors, I recommend Fiskars since they are not high dollar but cut well. You need larger pair for cutting cloth and a smaller pair for snipping threads.  Sewing thread-Black and white, a small spool is fine.  Sewing needles. A chalk marking pencil. A  twelve-inch ruler. A sewing measuring tape. Straight pins. A needle threader (it often comes in a packet of needles). A glue stick. A pin cushion. 	 
2.	Sewing on felt- Running stitch.  Black or white felt square - use contrasting thread for this project. 
3.	Sewing  cutting and measuring  on cotton fabric. 1 fat quarter of cotton fabric ( 9” x 18“ ) You can usually buy these at any Walmart or craft store. They can also be ordered online. If you have a relative who sews, any large cotton fabric scrap will do. We will also use this piece for a following week’s scrunchie project.  Sewing needle, thread, scissors from the sewing kit.   
4.  	Making a pouch – sewing on a button.  A 9 x 12 sheet of felt – any color you like.  Scissors, needle, thread to match the felt fabric, ruler, and a button.     
5.	Making a pillow-  A 1/2 yard of cotton fabric. Not too heavy weight. Do not use an upholstery type fabric. Scissors, needle, thread to match the fabric, ruler, and a large button. Fiberfill to stuff the pillow. 
6. Possible third project: Scrunchie- Any scrap fabrics at least 12 x 12 inches- You can even cut up old clothing into sections for your child to use for this class, 1/4 inch elastic, Scissors, measuring tape, pencils from the sewing kit.

Some children may need some assistance from an adult or older sibling when learning to cut and thread a needled. All attempts will be made to demonstrate these skills so that this is unnecessary, but all children learn differently!  Some may need a little help.  You may want to supervise any use of a hot iron. I will not require kids to use one during class without an adult present.
