You'll need 1m x 1m woven fabric, such as mid-weight cotton, linen, canvas, etc. You can also purchase this from us on the day.
All sewing tools and equipment will be provided. You are however welcome to bring your own machine to practice on if you prefer.
We’ll also provide you with cushion inserts if you opt to sew the cushion cover.
