  • Supply List:

    Fabric Requirements:

    Sashing: 1 1/4 yards of 58-60 inch-wide stretchy fabric. I love to use fleece because it is also cozy and fluffy. You could also use minky or any knit fabric that has some stretch to it.

    Backing and Outermost Border: 2 1/4 yards. I use the same fabric for front and back, but you could definitely use a different color for front and back. Recommended: I like the Anti Pill Plush Fleece Fabric from JoAnn.

    T-shirts: 12 shirts, or any item of clothing that you can. Please do not pre-cut before class.
