I can never resist a challenge, so I took on this project--a sewing caddy by my Japanese friend Eri. She is a master origami maker and sewer, by the way.
You start with 4 strips of 2 different prints, each measuring 3 3/4" x 10 3/4" Add batting to strips. Sew bottom together like a pinwheel.
Then sew up the sides in some mysterious fashion leaving a few inches for turning. I wish I could give you the exact sewing sequence, but that is the challenge. I figured it out in an afternoon...can you?
Looks like a sort of Rubik's cube to figure out! Your caddy is beautiful. Looks like a great place to leave scissors, thread and needles.
ReplyDeleteYes, it rests on my armchair and will be great for my hand sewing.

Such a clever idea! Helen, this print looks very Indian. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI have got to get my origami book out and see if I can cheat.

I found these fabrics on my quilters' group share table. Don't know where they came from, but I just had to have them.
