Vessels
Here
are five great new shapes for fabric vessels, four of them in two
sizes. The bottoms are weighted for stability. Let your imagination
run wild, you'll have a ball. This would be a great place to use
the stitches I hope you've already learned in my original Beadwork
for Fabric Artists or the new Beading
on Fabric!
At the
back left is the "Fiddleback" shape, to the right is the "Urn". The
pattern includes the outlines for making these either nine or twelve
inch tall.
Front
center is the "Lantern", it's about 5-1/2" tall, and the pattern includes
both making it from four sides and a bottom or from a single piece
of fabric that looks a lot like a four-leaf clover.
At the
front left is the "Tripod Straight" and on the right is the "Tripod Curve".
Of the
ten combinations of shape and size, eight of them are "fat quarter
friendly", meaning they can be made with a two fat quarters -
one for the outside and one for the lining.
If you
like the three and four sided shapes and want to keep going, come back
and get the pattern to cut the bottoms for five and
six-sided Lanterns, Fiddlebacks, and Urns. Nothing more to buy, it's
free: Just download this PDF file and
print it on your own printer.
The links at left are to pages for each shape, starting
with samples I've made. When you make one you're really happy with, please
send a photo and we'll post some of the best on these pages as well.
The Fabulous
Fabric Vessels pattern is available for $15.00 plus $2.00 shipping and handling,
