5-6 yards of cotton or linen fabric, pre-washed, dried and pressed. The fabric may be pre-dyed shibori/printed/patterned fabric or solid fabric. We would like the fabric to be a fairly balanced structure of EPI/PPI so that it can be easily hand-sewn but not too loose a weave to risk falling apart. Such fabrics as muslin, cotton quilting fabric or fine linen will work beautifully. We welcome your bringing a few choices and/or scraps waiting to be pieced into a garment, but please limit yourself to no more than 15-20 yards.
3-5 yards muslin to Patterning the Pattern (prewashed and scoured, NOT pressed)
