We love the idea of knitted art . A knitted chair is a second object in a series of sculptures entitled “Idle Work”. The yarn is hand-dyed 100% wool and is sewn around the chair like a skin. You can view the whole process online, from the yarn skein hand-dying to the final end result. Link.




One of the hardest parts of sewing is making sure patterns fit to your body shape. Here’s an article online from Threads Magazine that shows four quick, easy, and cheap ways to make your own dress form. “With a few pins, some muslin, and 20 minutes, you can explore more pattern tweaks (and learn more about fitting) on a custom form than you could in hours of flat-pattern investigation on paper.” These DIY dress forms can be made out of duct tape (there are 2 ways!), molded paper-mache, or paper-tape.
