Thank you so much for posting this well-written and fabulously illustrated patern. I am an expert sewer, and your pattern is amazingly well thought out. Mahalo nui loa (thank you very much), I am using these as a fundraiser for a hula studio.

Juggling Balls
Those were the best directions ever! Very easy to follow. A hint to make them even easier to make: I found in my sewing box 2-inch wide interfacing (made for waistbands). I was able to simply cut off the appropriate length, which made cutting those pieces out a snap. Plus, I used a rotary cutter and craft mat to cut the materials--probably not worth it for someone who occasionally sews, but I already had one on hand. Finally, if you are making multiple balls, I think it's easier to "assembly line sew" where you sew all the balls at the same time, i.e., step 1 on all the balls, step 2 on all the ball, and so on. And yeah, I really think too much about crafting. The great news is I'm 48 years old and have never been depressed a day in my life--all due to crafting!

these are great to follow - i'm teaching my little 6 year old brother to juggle now, and he's got the first cycle down easy, he just needs smaller balls to hold onto. I'm going to downsize the patterns a little bit and make them up for him.

Fun pattern!
I had lots of fun making these. I tried one without the interfacing and came out with VERY different results (very blobby and smooshy), but still cool. I then made 12 more with interfacing. They are so much cooler than regular beanbags. Thanks!

I just made three balls for mother's day. I'm a seamstress and origami enthusiast, and I found this pattern quite enjoyable. The instructions were well done and easy to read. I'll be sharing this site!
OMG, this is awesome
