Event Details

6th – 12th Grades One adult may attend with their student. Sorry, no adults may attend alone. Learn to make a pillowcase using the library’s sewing machine. Participants will need to supply fabric & basic sewing supplies. A supply list is below. Participants should bring a bag lunch that does not need refrigeration. Space is very limited. SEWING SUPPLY LIST FOR PILLOWCASES REQUIRED ITEMS*: *Fabric You need Quilter’s Weight 100% Cotton (42 to 44 inches wide) The person working at the fabric store/department should be able to guide you to this type of fabric. 1 yard of main body fabric ½ yard of contrast fabric OR 1 ½ yards of one single fabric if you don’t want your pillowcase cuff to be a different color *A Seam Ripper *Straight Pins I recommend the type that have a ball on the end because they are easier to grasp. STRONGLY SUGGESTED ITEMS**: **Fabric Cutting Scissors These scissors should be very sharp and not used for cutting anything other than fabric. **A Measuring Tape The type for fabric, not the kind used in construction. The four items on this list (other than the fabric) can be found in a kit that is approximately $10 at Wal-Mart. Fabric and sewing supplies (sold individually) will be available locally at either Wal-Mart or JoAnn Fabrics. If you're shopping at Joann, be sure to check Joann.com for their current coupons. You can print them before going to the store & usually get some discount. Call the library and ask for Julia if you have any questions: 708-748-4431 x320.
