Basic Class Supplies

To help you decide which classes you’d like to take, we’ve included abbreviated supply list information with each class description. For instance, you may see a notation that says, “BSS.” This means you’d need a sewing machine, thread, scissors, pins, and seam ripper for the class. Some classes will have sewing machines provided but that has not been finalized at the time this book was printed.

Basic Sewing Supplies (BSS)
Sewing machine, in good working order, with cord, foot pedal, and needles
Thread, requested colors or neutral such as gray

Some classes ask for PFD fabric. This refers to “prepared for dyeing” fabric.

Please arrive at your classroom at least 15 minutes before class begins. This will give you time to set up your work space before class begins.
