Sew Your Own

During last Saturday's practice session, several jugglers briefly pondered patterns not oft considered at they gym. Of course there was banter about siteswap , but we also talked about sewing patterns and templates used to fabricate one's own bean bag props. Turns out The Interned Juggling Database (IJDB) hosts a great page on stitching beanies. Scroll for downloadable templates in .pdf files.

Dodecahedrons, truncated tetrahedrons; the geometries are beautiful. Another quality of our passion convincing me of the logic of the pre- and non-digital.

See Ellen or Janelle to sample eponymous bean bags "Ellens" and "Janelles."
