For the upcoming Basic Garment Sewing classes, here are the supplies you will need:
- McCall's 2476 - select size according to your bust, waist, or hip measurement - whichever of the three gives a larger pattern size according to the back of the pattern envelope. If you cannot find this pattern locally, it can be ordered online.
- Quilting weight cotton or cotton flannel ("calico" weight or muslin weight) - 3 1/2 yards. It should be 100% cotton and not have directional printing, stripes, or plaid. Before the first class, please wash and dry and press the fabric. You can throw it in with your regular laundry.
- Fusible interfacing, light or featherweight. This should also be pre-shrunk. Fill a sink with hottest tap water. Immerse interfacing. Leave until water cools. Drain and dry interfacing over shower rod or hanger.
- Sewing machine in good working order. Please also bring attachments and manual. Note: You will not need machine for first class.
- Basic sewing tools such as measuring tape, chalk, pins, shears, paper scissors, seam ripper.
- Thread to match your fabric
- You will receive a folder and many handouts during class

I have a question although, of course, I'm not in your class. Why do you preshrink your interfacing? And do you do this with fusible interfacing as well? I've never heard of this.
