Equipment for class

Equipment list

Here is a complete list of equipment you will use in your millinery work, the more of it you can bring to our sessions the better. I recommend a trolley tool box or one of those shopping trolleys to carry everything so you can keep everything contained. If you have problems finding everything don't worry, I can give you some suggestions in the first class.

If your tool kit contains the following you will be prepared for everything.

·       Coverall type apron

·       Sewing needles-“Straws” assorted sizes, include 8 and 5 and 2.

·       Scissors for paper and scissors for fabric

·       Good quality small claw hammer ( Bunnings or similar)

·       Small long nose pliers for cutting wire

·       Good quality thimble to fit your second finger on your sewing hand –available Torb and Reiner

·       Tape measure with inches and centimeters-

·       Pins berry head type- the long ones are the best

·       Sewing thread in colours to match your hat

·       Tailors chalk

·       Sticky tape

·       Recycle plastic bags from dry cleaners, supermarket bags and vegetable bags from supermarket.

·       A hat brush- available from The City Hatters

·       Blocking pins- general household pins, available Torb and Reiner

·       A sketch book for drawing your ideas and pasting inspirations.

·       Notebook suitable for recording what you learn in class and pens and pencils

These are the main things you will need. There will be other equipment which you can gather over time.
For security please put your name on each of your tools so that if they are left behind we know who to return them to.
