Description Questions?

Answers-

Step 10 can use any stitch as long as you've left the appropriate seam allowance

You only need to draw the gradual curved line on one quarter of it in Step 6, so when you fold it and cut it out along that line the piece will be symmetrical in both directions

.... I would love to know how you managed that...
no wait i got it, less strait line more curve. however long the strait line is at the point and the side that will come out as a flat spot on your finished ball, I wish I could sketch in comments, eh ill post something tomorrow if that's still confusing

Wow thanks for the info on HOW you came up with the pattern. It really helps noobs to know how to make our own patterns as apposed to stealing everyone else's.

KimmiJe In reply to Nyasagilove [2010-10-06 01:15:52 +0000 UTC]

Heh I can make patterns but its still fun to use other peoples, there's a distinct lack of thinking involved which is good to relax to

I want to know how to make my own because eventually I want to be able to sell my stuff and if I am using my own pattern, there is no problem!

Rinnian [2010-07-12 21:54:08 +0000 UTC]

This might sound dumb, but why do you fold the paper before you cut it out?

I'm hoping to make a round plush over the summer, but I have very little sewing experience.

Very awesome! I so need this. I such a noob at 3-d I would love a step between 9 and 10 to see the sewing process, like the stitch you used...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

KimmiJe In reply to P-isfor-Plushes [2010-06-23 04:02:13 +0000 UTC]

I think this will work with any stitch, so long as you add your seam allowance. According to google I blind hem everything, which i didnt know I hate running stitch with a passion and any stitch that needs more instruction than attach fabric A to fabric B kinda seems needlessly complicated to me, but hey it will still work.
