*Some fabric stores offer a 10-15% discount on student projects! It doesn't hurt to ask!

*Please do not feel the need to spend an excessive amount of money on these supplies. Ask grandma or neighbors if they have any fabric they will donate to you. Another idea is to use sheets from home or purchase some inexpensively at a thrift store.

*If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail or call me at the school.

Thank you!
