You will need to bring to the first class:
A pattern – as this is a beginners course, avoid shirts with stiff collars or cuffs; a straight skirt is always a good garment to start with.
Fabric – again be mindful of the type of fabric; choose a well structured material, cottons and linens (not too fine), to begin with and not velvet .
Matching thread, zip, buttons, hooks, etc, as required.
Scissors, pins and a tape measure.
All students attending this course will qualify for a six week 10% discount card* for Franklins sewing stores.
