In the 2nd half of class, you will need the materials for the pants you will make in the class. During the previous weeks of the class, we will discuss and help pick out and purchase exactly what you are going to use. Here is most likely what you will need:

Bendy Ruler Alternatives: Though the “flexible curve ruler” seems to be much more accurate and helpful than DIY versions, students who couldn’t find long enough “flexible curve rulers” tried two DIY alternatives to the “bendy ruler”: rolled aluminum foil and 16 gauge jewelry wire. The consensus was the jewelry wire worked best!
Sturdier Block: I did not enjoy using “oil cloth,” which I had purchased (and demoed) for transferring my block to something thicker. I recommend using poster board instead. I also did not end up demonstrating how to use the “clapper” pressing tool (or most of the optional jeans findings, such as rivets, though I do share bonus links, if you are jazzed to try them.)
NEW ADDITION FOR 2020: You’ll also need a large piece of cardboard/foamboard or thick paper (at least as big as your body’s “saddle”) and something to cut it with.
REMINDER! This is a beta course. Everything is subject to change and experimentation!
(Though subject to change) The next 6 week session will likely begin in October 2021.
