one and a half yards of fabric (various textures, colors, prints-1/4 yd each. Feel free to check out remnants and the upholstery fabric sections-fabric should be at least medium weight. Suggestions: Corduroy, Sari fabric, Cotton and cotton blends, denim, velboa, etc. (avoid knits, lightweight & sheer fabrics)
Later in the class we will need two yards of interesting medium weight fabric for lining. Purchase after class starts as students need time to brainstorm. We may consider going to Joanne's during one of the class periods to purchase the fabric while teacher is present. Also, students will decide during the first few classes upon what embellishments they will need. Here are some suggestions: magnetic clasp, beads, embroidery thread, Cross-stitch metallic thread-embroidery needles, feathers, leather, buttons, old keys, jute, etc. (Acrylic gloss medium gel & pop bottle caps if making their own bangles)

Fabric: Students will choose a variety of contrasting or matching fabric in an assortment of colors they like. The easiest way is to buy “fat quarters”, enough for two to three yards. OR students may bring two to three accumulative yards of fabric scraps (from home, remnants bin, ¼ to 1/3 yard of fabric off the bolt)
Later in the class students will need two to three yards of lining fabric (amount depends on final size of comforter—after first class, students will know how much to purchase). Lining can be a sheet, flannel fabric, utility cloth (ornasburg), muslin, or any type of fabric the student chooses. (No heavy weights)
They may also need medium to lightweight fabric scraps for embellishments. Purchase or rummage around the house after class starts as students need time to brainstorm. Also, students will decide during the first few classes upon what other embellishments they will need. Here are some suggestions (let your imagination soar):
Funky yarn, fringe, beads, buttons, old keys, etc.
