Supplies : Heather Blazer
Tools & Supplies
· Friday Pattern Company Heather Blazer pattern*
· Main Fabric*
Any woven fabric with a bit of weight to it is great: Linen, Essex, suiting, twill, denim, canvas.
Avoid fabrics that can't take a press since there is a fair amount of fusible interfacing involved in this project.
· Lining Fabric*
Typically you want to line your jackets with something that will easily slide on and off over other fabrics.
Anything a little bit slippery would work. Rayon, silk, a cotton with a tight weave.
· woven fusible interfacing*
· knit fusible interfacing*
For fabric and interfacing yardage, please refer to the Friday Pattern

If the interfacing you purchase is less wide then make sure to get more.

Simply Sashiko
We've added a couple new Sashiko books to our shelves recently. Simply Sashiko gives you simple but thorough lessons on the ins and outs (literally) of 36 different sashiko patterns, plus designs for stylish home and personal accessories so you can try them out.
