The program for this month will be to make our own  name tags.    The idea is for you to show a bit of your personality and love of fiber in the making of your personalized name tag.

We will have some materials available at the meeting, but please bring your own to use and/or share.   Definitely bring scissors and needles for sewing by hand, and knitting needles or a crochet hook  if you think you might need them.

Materials that will be on hand: yarn, fabric, ribbon,  and embroidery thread.  

Equipment we will have at the church:  a sewing machine (we could use a 2nd one), thread, needles, a sewing box with misc. items, a hole punch,  glue gun, quick-dry adhesive,  heavy weight pellon (for stiffening the name tag), a couple of pairs of scissors, name badge magnets for securing your nametag safely to your clothes, and a rotary cutter and mat.  

We could use the following additional equipment:  a 2nd sewing machine, a small hand loom,  a table top ironing board and iron.
