Basic sewing items (scissors, measuring tape, pins etc). For upholstery you may also want to bring your own lightweight hammer, tack lifter and staple gun (optional) although upholstery tools and sewing machines are provided for your use. If you have an item to be upholstered (you'll will have to bring it each week as we don't have storage facilities) bring it on your first day, however further information will be given to all students then.
