Scrap fabric - Orange, green (or another colour for pupils), black and white Thread - Matching colours to fabric looks great, but not essential. Just regular thread you'd use for the sewing machine. Stuffing - You can use fabric scraps, wool, or beans Needle - A small needle for hand sewing, the kind that come in a sewing kit, nothing fancy! Thimble - Metal or leather to protect fingers Sharp Scissors  Fabric Marker - Tailor's chalk or fabric pen. I love the ones you can iron off.  Printer - To print out the pattern, but you can also draw it out Beeswax block - This can be useful, but not essential, to run over your thread to stop it snagging on your fabric.Have fun! See you in Class Laura XOXOX.
