<\/a>This picture shows all of the supplies we had; we didn’t need to bring anything at all with us. There was a large carton (partially visible at the back of the photo) filled with different fabrics and stabilizers; a ribbon-bound book to put our samples into, along with any notes we might want to make; a tape measure ; some binding clips; a ruler; thread; a piece of Minkee; sewing machine needles; a composition book for more notes; pen and pencil; etc.<\/p>\n
