What is Supplied on the Masterclass?

It is recommended that each participant brings their own fabric scissors (large and small) to help the class move along in a good pace.

All Selvedge Denim, pocketing fabric, trims, thread, tracing chalk and sewing pins will be supplied on the course. But if you wish to bring your own selvedge denim, make sure its 3 metres of selvedge denim (narrow denim about 28" width is best) we will be using 100% cotton denim fabric in between 12 and 14oz.

Please note we will not be using any stretch fabrics on this course.

A good selection of sewing threads will be available from Mohsin’s own Endrime studio if you want to bring a selection of colours, make sure they are thick thread and they are colours that work well together with the desired denim shade.
