In this episode...
1.  Task Management 
2.  Material - Natural (cotton, silk, etc) VS Synthetic (polyester, rayon, etc) and considerations
3.  Preparing a blank for beading (starting with hairties)

We will be preparing Arya's hairties for beading.  Don't worry about the irregular appearance of the beading blanks, they will be trimmed and finished once beads are on.

In the next episode, we will learn how to measure for various items of a Fancy Shawl Regalia (yoke, leggings, headband, barrette).  For the next episode, have newspaper, interfacing (recommend sew on interfacing), fabric scissors, pencil, pins, Nymo thread and needles, besswax, and heavy grade canvas (around 2 metres) ready.  

If you don't have access to canvas, denim is also cotton and works just as well.
