Tools and Materials
Tools
- Sewing Machine
- Pins
- Self-Healing Cutting Board & Rotary Blade or Fabric Scissors

Materials
- Large paper or sturdy fabric to make the pattern
- Fabric. Use the pattern measurements to determine the amount you need. I recommend cotton or cotton-blend fabric used for quilting since it is easy to sew and usually cheap. This pattern works just fine with fancy fabric, fleece, or old t-shirts.
