Can you translate please.... |
* 45" fabric is the width of the fabric from selvage (finished edge) to selvage
* Fabric - it is suggesting a cotton or cotton blend with no nap (fabric looks different from different view points...for example, velvet, suedecloth, corduroy etc.
* Notions - you need a spool of matching thread, two packages of 1/4" wide double fold bias tape, color to match or coordinate with your fabric (ask a lady at the fabric store, she can help you) and a 4" long piece of 3/4" wide velcro (again, ask the lady at the fabric store).
Good luck! If you really have a desire to sew, go to a sewing machine store in your area and see if they offer a refresher course in basic sewing!
