What You’ll Need to Bring

• A prewashed sweatshirt, at least one size larger than you normally wear. Two sizes larger is also appropriate if you prefer a roomier or longer jacket. The instructor specifically recommends washing it before class because the sweatshirt may shrink.
• Assorted fabrics for the appliqué. Scraps, fat quarters, charm squares, layer cake pieces, or yardage may all be used. Keep in mind that portions of your sweatshirt will remain visible between the fabrics.
• 1¼ yards coordinating quilting cotton for binding. For a very large or extra-long sweatshirt, we recommend 1½ yards.
• Coordinating or variegated thread
• One button, 1" or larger
• Appliqué pressing sheet
• Sewing machine in good working order
• Basic sewing supplies, including pins, fabric scissors, paper scissors, and any rulers you normally use
• Iron, if you have one. Bringing your own will help keep everyone moving, although we will have a shared ironing station available. The instructor’s original list also recommends bringing an iron when possible.

Skill Level: Beginner Sewing Friendly

You should be comfortable setting up and operating your sewing machine, but you do not need advanced garment-making or quilting experience.
