Question

How far apart should I make it when I am doing an 8-inch ball?

T. Chinsen

Top Answerer

Article step 1 recommends using a template about the finished size of the ball. Follow the method which recommends moving the template 2/3 of its width from the original tracing and tracing it again.

Question

With what do I fill the baseball?

T. Chinsen

Top Answerer

Polyester fiberfill is the recommended fill for any stuffed item. Take a handful of fill and roll it into a ball before stuffing it into the opening. Make as many balls as possible to stuff into your toy. The ball shaped fill will help the toy hold its shape over time. Not doing this will result in a deformed shape as the fill gets packed down from playing.

Question

I want to sew a "rock pillow", but not the kind with two pieces and a seam around the base. Do you have any idea how to make a template for something like the ones at rockpillows.com?

T. Chinsen

Top Answerer

The rock pillows are probably made with a stretchy fabric. It looks like a center tube with circular or oval pieces on each end. Upholstery fabrics especially liner fabrics for vehicles may be a good option for material.

Question

Could I use a circle template?

Otterly Badgerific

Top Answerer

Yes, by using a circle template, this will make the curve between the straight section and circle. The tangents will present themselves.
