Required Supplies

• Pattern or Kit
• Large assortment of fabric (scraps or small precuts are sufficient). Bring light, medium and dark fabrics

of desired colors.

• Lite Steam a Seam 2. Please prepare a good assortment of fabric before class so that we can maximize class time working on our projects. I recommend applying SAS to pieces of fabric that are about 4.5 x 6'. Not all fabric will need to be ready to use, but at least enough to begin the project.

• Parchment paper (baking paper, available in grocery stores)
• Fabric scissors (Available for purchase at CollageQuilter.com). I recommend 6 scissors
• l/4" Foam Core Board covered in felt (this is your work surface). Sold at local craft stores, it should be

about 20" square (optional)
