Stitch-a-hedron!: English Paper Pieced Gifts and Accessories to Sew - Paperback

by Cathy Perlmutter (Author)

This book combines two ancient obsessions, polyhedra and English Paper Piecing, to show how to sew toys (balls for babies, paperweights for adults); home décor (bowls, ornaments, pincushions, a desktop planetarium); and artistic accessories (brooches and handbags.) There are 17+ unique projects in this book that you will enjoy making and your friends and family will marvel over. The seven shapes explored in this book are: Dodecahedron and Stellated Dodecahedron; Truncated Octahedron; Truncated Cuboctahedron; Icosahedron; and Truncated Icosahedron. Most of the projects can be hand or machine sewn. Each project includes step-by-step fully illustrated directions. You can use any fabric - including "precut" packs - or even upcycled material like candy wrappers and coffee bags. And don't worry about your grade in high school geometry - no math is required! Note on format: Buying here means you are purchasing the paperback edition of the book. You'll need to photocopy the patterns from the book. If you would prefer a PDF version of the book, which allows you to print out the pattern pages from your computer, buy it from the author on Etsy, at https: //www.etsy.com/listing/662930567/stitch-a-hedron-english-paper-pieced?ref=shop_home_active_1. There is no Kindle version of this book, because of the need to print out pages.
