Patch Party: recommended workshop supplies

These are my recommended supplies for my mending workshop 'Patch Party'.
We will be using my book, Modern Mending, as our textbook in class. If you already have a copy, please bring it with you.
Any sharp scissors will do, but I use these Fiskars snips the most for cutting fabric patches. They also work for snipping yarn and thread, if you're attending both workshops.
Any good-quality sewing thread or embroidery thread will do for this workshop (you are welcome to bring your own or use what's on hand at SOSU), but Scanfil organic cotton sewing thread is my favourite for basting and hand sewing.
We will learn to make DIY iron-on patches in this workshop, using fusible web. I'll be providing each student with a small piece of fusible web to try, but you might like to purchase a pack ahead of time and save on costs, if you think you might be making a lot of iron-on patches in your future.
Tenacious Tape is amazing for patching puffer jackets and other outdoor gear, and Nuno Deco is a decorative, less durable fabric tape. Elbow patches are great for knees and elbows. We won't be using these products in the workshop, but they're handy patching supplies if you have need for them.
