Both @roler and I like D&D, so I decided to make a 3-D 20-sided die. I was excited to try “paper piecing”, a quilting technique I’d never used. This was actually a little easier than regular paper piecing, because I used cardboard triangles and left them in place so that the complex structure would stay rigid.
Here’s a progress shot that shows the mess inside.
This was super fun to make. It was either beginner’s luck or else paper piecing is easier with cardboard, because my second effort at paper piecing - using paper instead of cardboard - was a failure!
Yes, it’s a metallic vinyl… Or something like that. It was way easier to sew than other vinyl I’ve worked with in the past. Just used a regular needle instead of a leatherworking needle.
In its former life it was a zipper pouch that I picked up for a quarter at a garage sale, specifically to reuse the (damaged and stained in places) fabric. Maybe it’s pleather? A lot more supple than regular vinyl and sews like a dream.
