You will be making postcards finished size 4" x 6". Needs List Fabrics: You won't need a lot of fabric for postcards, they are quite small, and you will probably only have time to do a few in this class. Some fabric ideas are: Fun pieces from your stash, some glitzy, some batik, contemporary, oriental,  textured, velvety, pieces with a design or pattern you would like to incorporate  - anything goes 2 different plain fat 1/8ths for base fabrics (I like black satin or lining, homespun neutrals or colours) Another 2 different fat 1/8ths for backing - cotton is good. One fat 1/8 of soft black bridal veil tuille or organza for edging (or your colour choice, - I think a dark colour puts a nice frame on the postcard) - from Spotlight. Sewing Machine: Sewing Machine serviced, with normal sewing equipment and instruction booklet. You must know how to adjust the thread tension on your machine. Open embroidery foot, darning foot, regular foot Machine needles - Universal 80/12, Metallica 80/12, Microtex Sharp Needle 70/10  A few empty bobbins  Extra bobbin case (only if you have one) Threads: Just bring in an array of colours that you have (make sure  to include black, white and grey). I like some shiny and a couple of metallics thrown in Hand embroidery threads, fun wools if you have them, bits of thread left over from sewing&ldots; Clear monofilament (optional) Black "Birch Brand" thread (Spotlight) Other Items: Safety glasses if you are not wearing glasses Fabric scissors, Paper scissors, Small sharp scissors, A few straight pins.  Embroidery needle for hand sewing thread (optional) Notebook, Pencil, pen, medium black permanent marker pen, white pencil marker. ½  m Vliesofix, ½ m of tracing paper. ½ m heavyweight very stiff white iron-on Interfacing.

Camera,if you wish Please make a wide frame by cutting a rectangular hole 10 x 15cm (or 4' x 6') in an A4 piece of paper or preferably cardboard (last longer), and bring to class.
