You will be using solid colored fabric in this workshop. Also, you may choose your palette in advance and purchase multiple values in each color you use. For example, If you like blue, make sure you bring a very dark blue value, a very light, and a few shades in between if possible. It’s more important to bring multiple values of a few colors, than a bunch of different colors. 

Neutral fabric is always good to have on hand. I suggest bringing grays and/or taupes (warm and cool). The main thing is to have options.

Please feel free to email with any questions regarding fabric or anything else for the workshop. I am more than happy to review your fabric choices and provide feedback in advance!  sheila@zoombaby.com
