material fee $25, payable to Betty Busby
No sewing machines are necessary.
Included in the class is a sample of the nonwoven we will be using for the cutter. This is sufficient to execute all of the class projects.
Also included is 1/2 yard of silk habotai.
Included in the class is the use of my fabric paint. Students may also bring their own including Dye-Na-Flow, SetaSilk, Lumiere, Setacolor, or other fabric paints.
Below are the items that will be necessary for the class-
Sharp scissors
6 white plastic kitchen trash can liner bags- 13 gallon- unscented please.

Latex gloves for use when painting
Container for water to rinse brushes
Water sprayer
parchment paper or Teflon sheet (preferred)
2 yards minimum of white or light colored material- can be any material, including synthetics.
A sheet or 2 of foamcore board- the 20×30” size that is sold at Target and most grocery stores is fine.
Set of regular acrylic artist paints (any brand)- basic colors, primaries plus black and white.
Recommended brushes are 1” chipping brushes, and large (size 8-10) round bristle brushes meant for acrylic paint. Find the chipping brushes in the hardware store, usually in the bottom bins- they are a dollar or so each.
You’ll need 3 or 4 of each.
