If you don’t want to sew, feel free to donate colorful fabric appropriate for a boy or a girl, or money to purchase more fabric. Each pillowcase requires 3/4 yard for the body and 1/4 yard for the border. We especially need cases for boys. Holiday fabrics are good choices. We already have a lot of Christmas fabrics. We will have fun putting the pillowcases together.

Based on the book Friendship Strips & Scraps, by Edyta Sitar
Let’s get together and enjoy each other’s company as we exchange fabric through strips. The more people we have the more variety in fabrics. This is how it works. Go to your favorite fabric shop (Cindy’s of course) and purchase 1 yard of your favorite fabric – one that you can’t live without because it is so beautiful. Go home and cut it into perfect 2 ½” strips. No wobbles please. Bring your strips to Cindy’s on the day of the class and get ready to exchange. Offer to trade a fabric strip with the individuals whose strips intrigue you. You don’t have to exchange with everyone – especially if you don’t like their fabric. If you really like someone’s fabric choice you may, however, have to offer them two of yours for one of theirs. March’s Class will have the color theme of Hot Colors.
