****Usual Sewing Notions (if you're bringing your own machine)
This is a list of the basic items needed for beginning sewing. Please put your name on all your supplies.

• Scissors – please be sure these will easily cut fabric.
• Seam ripper 
• Tape measure - 60 inches at least 
• Seam gauge 
• Water soluble disappearing ink pen FOR FABRIC or other marker for fabric 
• Pins and pin cushion 
• Hand sewing needles - sharps size 10 or an assortment of sizes
• Thimble 
• Large safety pin 
• Box or container for supplies 
• Needle threader - can be helpful if you have difficulty threading needles 
• Small sack for scraps/trash - bring this when attending a class 

Some stores sell preassembled kits containing many of these supplies. It is best not to purchase these as the scissors do not cut well and the needles and pins are not sharp enough to use without marring the fabric. Most all of these supplies should be available at fabric stores or Wal-Mart, Hobby Lobby, Michaels, etc.

If you are bringing your own sewing machine, please bring sewing machine needles - several sizes are very useful. Also, bring the instruction manual for the machine.
