SUPPLY LIST

pins

sharp pencil

sewing machine in good working order

neutral colored thread

1¼ yard flannel or cotton batting for design wall

Optional Supplies:

Spray sizing (Magic Sizing or Niagara Sizing), spray starch can be substituted, if Sizing is not available

FABRIC:

Light Blue (background) 1 2/3 yard  (includes binding)

Medium-Dark Blue (ring color): ¾ yard

Fabric suggestions: Tone on tone such as Moda Marbles or light pattern batiks work best.  (Do not use two highly textured fabrics. They will “fight” each other and the rings will not show.)

You can choose other colors, if you wish. Be sure to have a lighter background and a darker color for the rings.  Some good combinations: Light Blue background/Dark green ring; Light Green background/Dark blue ring; Light Blue Background/Yellow Ring

Preparation for class: light mist fabrics with Spray Sizing and iron before cutting.
