Want to make a woolie pentagon box for your sewing notions? This is a Dodecahedron. (don't say that with a mouthful of popcorn!) 12 pentagons, 30 edges, and 20 vertices (points)! You will need: Lightweight cardboard, cut 12 cardboard pentagon shapes. Cotton quilt batt scraps cut to the same size as cardboard, please cut 13 pentagons, the extra will be for the inside of the lid. Lightweight mismatched felted wools for the faces, cut 12 pentagons, 1/4 to 1/2 inch larger than the cardboard. Lightweight wool or flannel of one colour to use as lining, cut 12 pentagons, 1/4 to 1/2 inch larger than the cardboard. (Check my Etsy Shop...from time to time I will have templates and kits listed) This is my favourite quick method for fusing the layers, Cut pieces of fusible hem tape to the length of a side. Now trim that piece in half lengthwise. Layer the batting between the cardboard and wool fabric. Carefully place trimmed fusing tape on cardboard, fold over the wool fabric and iron. Repeat on all 5 sides. Trim the corners Press again Now press a hem on the lining pieces. Use the cardboard as a template, work around all sides Here are 12 covered and batted pieces with 12 liners ready to stitch. To reduce bulk, trim away the corners on the lining. Be careful not to trim past the ironed hem. Leave just a smidge for stitching. Pin lining to the cardboard side of the wool and batt pieces. Use a neutral coloured thread and make small whip stitches to join the sides. I used Coates and Clark polyester, brown #8360. ***Stop here and decide which shape will be the lid, use the extra, or 13th piece of batting for the lining side of the cardboard*** Lay out the finished pieces I chose the red piece to be my lid. It has batting on both sides of the cardboard. Join each side with small whip stitches. Stitch on the right side of the pentagons. Six pieces joined, place right sides down. Now bring up the sides and stitch one side at a time. (Stop now if you want a bowl!) Add a row around the bowl Keep going all the way around the bowl, using 5 more shapes. The last shape is your lid. This is the piece that has batting on both sides. The perfect spot to hold needles and pins! Not finished yet. Time to personalize and pretty it up a bit. Work a feather stitch, which is an adaption of a blanket stitch, along all the edges. Embroider with one colour, or a combination of thread colours. Add a fob to hold the lid down. I used a bobbin, a woolie strawberry, and a button! You could use one, or all, or any weighty dangle thing of your choice. What will you keep in your Dodecahedron? I will be making wool pieced kits for this project, no thread. I'm playing with the shapes to get just the right sized opening. Let me know if you are interested. Happy New Year! Check my Etsy Shop. From time to time I will have templates and kits available.

A brief history and some rad photos. em·broi·der·y /əmˈbroid(ə)rē/ 1. the art of creating and producing raised designs or motifs on woven fabrics, paper, or plastic and, in rare instances, on knitted fabrics. Like the 87 year old in all of us, embroidery is an old soul. The form of art appeared way back (waaaay back) in Cro-Magnon fossils dating back as early as 30,000 BCE. Embroidery later appeared in China in 3500 BCE, and then again during the Iron Age as early as 2500 BCE. Basically, embroidery is a stubborn old lady. A long, long time later (but still way waaaay back) in the 1500's, embroidery became popular in Europe, and then grew all over the world. In many cultures, the art was associated with wealth, because, you know, these hand-made things take time. In the 19th century the innovation of Berlin wool (like the adult version of color by numbers) allowed embroidery to gain popularity among the lower class and domestics. Because of its speed and cost, most of the embroidery you see today is machine made. In present day, embroidery is seen as a creative outlet and a form of expression. (not that humans weren't creative back then either). We love us some unusual, spectacular and just plain beautiful forms of expression. Find here some of our favorites and click through to find the amazingly cool artists behind each photograph (if they hadn't gone incognito). If you're a history buff or just can't get enough of embroidery, you can find more information here and here. Now go on, get your trendy, on-point (pun intended) embroidery on.
TAST-2012-9th Week-Couching Stitches This week Sharon has announced Couching Stitches for the challenge. You can visit Sharon's Page at Pintangle for further information. I have not done much couching before. So I am very excited to get this opportunity to explore the couching stitches. here are my first set of attempts: My stitches are not perfect as I am finding it difficult sometimes to work on even weave fabric. I need more practice. Moreover after working many hours on key board, when I finally take up this needle work late in the night, my fingers don't co-operate with me :) :).... Well these are my first attempt and I am warming up. But I have some idea in my mind for exploring which may be different and unique. Well let me explore and see whether they turn out well. So Keep an eye. Pin It

Soundweaving is a recent project by Hungarian design student Zsanett Szirmay that turns patterns used in traditional folk embroidery into music by translating them into laser-cut punch cards fed through a custom music box. The project was partially inspired by actual paper cards used in some weaving looms to easily reproduce patterns for various textiles. Szirmay collaborated with musician and composer Bálint Tárkány-Kovács who helped with audio mapping and the development of each track. More
