I thought it will be nice to have more pattern weights when I am dealing with patterns. This will be a great gift idea for a seamstress friend too. Are you ready to make this with me?

You Will Need (3 things)

  • Fabric
  • Thread
  • Rice for stuffing

Steps (8 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Print out the free PDF pattern I created and cut the triangle. Trace that onto fabric, then cut. This is a great project to use your scraps, but you need at least 5"x 5" fabric.

  2. 2

    My secret to have crisp lines for the tetrahedron is to press the edges with an iron before you start sewing.

  3. 3

    Bring tips A and B together with right side of the fabric and sew the seam.

  4. 4

    Next, bring B and C together and sew the seam.

  5. 5

    Then, sew the last seam half way.

  6. 6

    Turn the fabric inside out, and stuff it with rice. To keep the shape more crisp I kept adding the rice as I was slip stitching the opening.

  7. 7

    Now you have a pattern weight. :)

    It is fun to make this whenever you have saved up scraps that you like. Though, it goes much quicker when you establish an assembly line. I cut all of them at once, sewed them at once, and while I was watching a movie with the kids, I was able to turn the fabric inside out, stuff them and slip stitch close the openings. This is especially effective when you are making these as a gift for someone in a hurry.

    As a result, I made quite bit already in different colors and patterns...
