Patterns

1. Felt Cakes
http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=26836.0/

I like this pattern because of it's simplicity. What was really interesting to me was the the cream puff and how it is made up of flat pieces and sewn together to make a three dimensional piece.

Pieces for cake base

Strawberry

Puff pieces

Top puff

Puff fully assembled

Tada! The felt cake.

2. Panda

This pattern requires few pieces and is also simple.

What's Happening Here

This blog documents the work of students in two separate Parsons classes and departments. MAKING WIRELESS PLUSH TOYS designs, sews, and solders interactive soft toys. MAKING WIRELESS PLUSH TOYS is a class in the CDT department, Communication Design Technology. TOY CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN deals with the fundamentals of ideation, development and design. TOY CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN is a class in the Illustration Department. These are two separate classes that take place in two separate departments and have two separate groups of students. The Professors decided to create one blog for the class to help promote the cross-fertilization of ideas and warm fuzzy feelings between departments.
