Various shared items such as teaspoons, plastic, string, marbles etc

You are welcome to bring extra fabric and garments such as a tshirt or shirt (we dye these later in the day to use up the indigo).
If you want to do some of the folding and stitching of samples beforehand, this is the book we use.
