  • From the teacher -
  • The panel on the cover is older, so may not be available. You can use any panel they would like. Ideally, it should be an outdoor scene. The pattern is written for a 36" panel, but it can be adjusted for a smaller one and I will show them how.

    You will need six different fabrics for the frame - one dark (1 yd), three medium (1/2 yd each) and two light (1/2 yd each). The lights and mediums should coordinate with the panel. We will help them pick the best ones to use for the frame. If they are unsure (and I know some may be), they can bring extra. But I don't want them to over buy - they can pull from stash! 

    We are going to help them pick the best role for each fabric and adjust the fabric for their panels.
