List of Supplies:
Basic student kit - $30, will be provided in class. (Includes 12 – 1/8 cuts of assorted hand-woven, striped Guatemalan textiles to be used as the basis of your project. Pre-washed and ready to sew!) You need to supply additional coordinating fabrics; see below.
Basic sewing & sewing machine supplies
Sewing machine with ¼” foot
Measuring tape
Fabric & paper scissors
Rotary cutter, mat & ruler (at least 12” long)
Plastic template material & fine permanent marker
Notebook & colored pencils (to sketch and take notes)
Masking Tape
2 yds. FLANNEL or Pellon fleece for a design wall (at least 72” long) – this is crucial!
For the blocks: coordinating fabrics to mix-n-match with the Guatemalan textiles:
Bring 20-25 fat quarters in striped commercial fabrics. Stripe width should be 1/4” and
wider. Variety in color and style is desirable! i.e. other directional prints, ombre/gradated patterns.
Iron & ironing board
Heavy duty, multi-plug extension cord & table top lamp
Optional:
If you have ready-made templates in basic geometric shapes (i.e. 60° triangle, 45° triangle, square, hexagon, kite, etc.) in sizes ranging from 3” to 6” bring them!
I will bring extra, assorted Guatemalan fabric that students can purchase if they so desire. Washing & care instructions will be provided.
Note to Workshop Organizers: * All students in my classes need a "design board" to work on. They will bring 2 yds. of flannel or fleece to cover it with, so they can use it in lieu of a design wall. These boards should measure approx. 30" x 72". (If boards cannot be available, then each student needs at least 30x72" of individual wall space. They can tape the flannel to the wall instead).This is crucial!
* I will need a slide projector for this workshop, and a CD player. Thank you!
