1. One well-fitting jacket, non-stretchy denim, linen, or cotton usually works best We may alter the collar, sleeves, cuffs, or bottom edge so all the jacket must do is fit the upper body well. 2. Sewing machine ready to sew, with thread that matches the jacket Zipper foot, Teflon or roller foot is nice but not critical, and a machine that can do a zigzag stitch Bring an assortment of other construction thread colors, Pearl Cotton, and embroidery floss is nice as well Pins, hand sewing needle, beading needle if you like to add seed beads. 3. Embellishments such as trims, lace, rickrack, fringe, pompoms, trims that you love, bring more than you think you need so you have more choices in class 4. Vintage textiles or an interesting tee-shirt that has an image you love that could be a focal point on the back of the jacket 5. If you want a skirt, or bustle on the back look for a skirt that coordinates with the jacket color - children's dresses are a god place to shop, as well as women's skirts at thrift stores. Skirts added to jackets can hide our imperfections. 6. Collection of some buttons, small beads, broken jewelry and chains, large snaps, or other objects that can be sewed down - I encourage each student to bring extra and share in class. 7. Pellon Wonder Under or other lightweight fusible webbing 8. Sharp scissors, cutting mat. rotary cutter
