Materials for Improv Workshop
Sewing Machine
Neutral colored thread
Seam Ripper
Pins or Fabric Glue
Cutting Mat and Rotary Cutter (rulers optional )
12 to 24 fat eighths or fat quarters of solid fabric
Even scraps of solids are fine
Fabric that “reads” as solid will also work
A few scraps of prints will add some variety
1 yard solid background fabric. Choose a color,
avoid whites.
If you don’t have a lot of solids the Quiltery has
agreed to curate a few bundles of solids to help
you out.
We hope everyone who wants to play with fabric
for an afternoon will join in on March the 9th.
