They will complete a small basket, approximately 3" high and 7" across. Students need to bring a sewing machine with zigzag capability (instructor can provide one machine for someone who doesn't have one) and have a working knowledge of using it. Students need to bring 1/2 yard of cotton fabric, cut on the bias in 3/4" strips (the cutting can be done in class if necessary). They will also need thread. Clothesline and glue will be provided.
