I made this fabric bowl with a pentagon base and scalloped top edge. I made one like this before and I liked the shape a lot. I was thinking of making it with the hexagon base, but decided to make another pentagon, as I rather like the 5 sides. Plus it's one less side I have to sew, lol!!!
The instructions on how to make this bowl comes from the
Contain It! English Paper-Pieced Accessories book by my blog friend Laura Chaney (Gerth) and her mother Linda Chaney. They blog over at
Prairie Sewn Studios.
I love the bowls and vases and containers in the book. I should try making another shape and size that I haven't already made. I participated in their blog hop last year where I made several containers and
you can go here to see what I made in case you forgot or are a new follower or are just visiting today. There are so many possibilities of great containers to make in their book.
Here is my latest scalloped bowl with the pentagon base:
 |
| I chose a floral and paisley fabric for the exterior of this bowl. |
 |
| Each side is a bit different from how the fabric was cut. |
 |
| The inside is a pink with lime green dots. |
 |
| You can see the pentagon base and all 5 interior sides in this view. |

This is a really fun pentagon bowl with the bright cheerful fabrics. I can see this as a lovely gift container filled with lots of girly things...nail polish, hair fixtures, etcetera. How fun to see what you are sewing dear.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty flower shape and cheery fabrics - I love it Daryl! Laura and Linda's book is full of fun projects and a couple of Contain It! projects are on my radar too.
ReplyDeleteLove the newest bowl! And that fabric is perfect if you wanted to add a little more sparkle by attaching seed beads or iron on crystals.
ReplyDeletevery cute, I like that you can enjoy the inner and outer fabrics, so often the inside fabric is never seen. I like the scalloped top.
