| Supplies: " Sweatshirt - purchased sweatshirt with set in sleeves at least one size larger for a jacket style or the size you usually wear. A 100% cotton or preferably at least 80% cotton works best (I prefer a man’s or unisex sweatshirt because when a women’s shirt lower band is removed, it can be too short in length). " Or Denim shirt ~ Recycle old denim shirts you or a member of your family no longer wears. Or purchase one (or some!) at resale shops or garage sales. Men’s denim shirts are easier to find and work well for anyone. Try to find one with no pockets or one with just one pocket. Appliqués and names can be done by hand or machine for either method you will need (note I stitched my appliqués by machine and hand embroidered names and says on the Mom and Grandma shirt and jacket): " Fabric for appliqués 4” x 4” piece for each name 1/8 yards or fat 1/4’s work well for pieces. " Fusible web I prefer Steam A Seam Lite 1/4 yard for 6 names or fewer 1/2 yard for up to 20 names " Marking pen(s) or pencil(s) for light and dark fabrics needs to wash out or disappear. " Appliqué foot for machine appliqué Machine methods: " Monofilament for machine appliqués - clear for light fabrics or smoke for dark fabrics or colors to match your appliqué fabric for either hand or machine. " Thread to match your shirt 50 wt. if attaching by machine. " 60 wt for bobbin thread if using satin stitch appliqué. I prefer Bottom Line by Superior Threads " Machine Embroidery threads color(s) of your choice for machine embroidery " 1/2 yard of tear away stabilizer for satin stitch machine appliqué Hand methods: " Embroidery floss or pearl cotton #8 contrasting color(s) for names, sayings appliqués may be stitched with matching or contrasting colors Accent
fabrics: 5/8
yard of fabric for binding for sweatshirt jacket or to cover If you have question you can email the teacher at pceary@wmis.net |
