Shared supplies will also be provided if you can not travel with these items. - Scissors with a sharp point for cutting fabric - Washable glue with a thin applicator tip (Roxanne Glue Baste It works well, so does Elmers washable school glue if you get a very thin applicator tip for the bottle) - Seam ripper - (we’ll hope we don't need it, but when learning, it’s always good to have a BFF seam ripper handy!) - Pins
Optional Supplies: Notebook and writing tool for taking notes
