Supplies needed
You can print out the
directions.
If you can't print them, we will have a few copies available.
You provide your own fabric, bring your machine and basic sewing supplies. Don't forget
4 pins.
Ironing stations and cutting stations are provided.
You will need 3/4 yd. for the body of the pillow and 1/3 yard for the border.
Cheerful 100% cotton fabric or cotton flannel only. Think sports, bugs,
horses, dolls, toys, etc.
Southeast Hospital requested the fabric should be appropriate for kids 12 and under.
The St. Louis Hospitals need fabrics for young children and for teens.
Please wash your fabric before coming. Go ahead and cut it following the directions at the website, if you wish. That will just speed up the session.
