Pattern Weight

Cutting fabrics based on a sewing pattern is very challenging for me. To add to that, the process of putting sewing pins, I think, really wastes my time. I was looking for pattern weight ideas and I came across  the tutorial and free pattern from Sachiko. 

Pattern for the pattern weight.The instruction is simply to sew A to B, 

B to C, and C to D. 

I printed out the free pattern and traced on some scrap fabrics.Here are photos of the fabrics that I used for this project.

Here are some pictures of how it is done. I was supposed to sew it using my sewing machine but i think it is easier to do it by hand.

Hand-sewn

Basically, you'll just have to follow the detailed instructions/tutorial provided by Sachiko. After sewing each of the flaps, you need to turn it over to prepare it for stuffing. 

 I also stuffed it with rice :D Some tutorials use aquarium gravel as stuffings, while others use split beans.

Here are my finished products:
