Besides the unique tools & supplies package you would purchase from us, it may be a good idea to have several general sewing tools. Please bring the tools below for the better experience (not required, but recommended). The list of tools are NOT included to the material package you purchase.
*I strongly recommend bringing the item colored with Orange in supplies section.
*We do not use them all the time, so if the Workshop Studio has some, you may be able to use theirs instead of bringing your own to the workshop. However, it is recommended to bring them to make the workshop more comfortable.
