Add another hexagon by repeating steps 14 & 15.

Attach the servo horn. It's splined to the gear, so just position it and push it on.

All finished! Hook the servo up to your microcontroller and give it a test.

When told to go to position 0 (1500µs), it should stop. Less than 1500µs, it should move backwards, and more than 1500µs will move it forwards.

If you find your potentiometer has slipped, test different centre positions until it's completely stopped - you should find it will be stopped at three different microsecond times. Use the central one. Then, the servo will generally go full backwards at centre-200 and full forwards at centre+200.

Attach wheels and have fun!

Items required: Gocco printer and consumables (master, ink, flash bulbs), brown paper lunch bags, laser printed or photocopied original.

Be sure to reinforce the corner where the 3 hexagons meet, by sewing a couple extra stitches through all three of the hexagons.

 

Now you know how to hand-piece a hexagon quilt top, but what will you make with them?

Continue adding hexagons by sewing an edge at a time. When you're done, make sure all the loose edges have been sewn/secured to another.

First, attach the camera to the end of a pool-cleaning pole with a Gorillapod. I also put a cabletie around the camera strap and through the pole because I really didn't want my DSLR falling 20 feet into the pool.

step 1: ideas first

 

come up with a good picture of what you're going for. this one was my start:

all of my pattern pieces are made out of newspaper, though you can use butcher paper, tissue paper, old wrapping paper, anything big enough that you have.

 

step 2: make legs:

measure the distance from your armpit to your wrist, and make the pattern piece about that long. the bottom edge of the legs will be the long side, and the top edge the shorter side.

At this point, I like to trim the excess batting off, to make the batting & backing match the size of the quilt top. Sometimes I have to cut tiny little slits in the batting at the corners, so that any excess doesn't pile up inside the binding.

 

I only do one of the four sides at a time, usually. And then trim the batting again when I reach the next side, etc.

1. Soak in soapy water.

2. Transfer to mesh bag and rinse in bathtub.

3. Use laundry basket, lined with towel, to carry to living room.

4. Dump out on towels on living room floor, with fan blowing.

The BristleBot is a vibrobot with an agenda.

 

It's built with a vibrating pager motor and the busines end of a toothbrush that has slanted bristles.

4 Hexagons sewn together, wrong-sides.

 

blogged.

Sew the other edge of your project, making sure the seam allowance of your previous edge is sewn down too.

It is not latex clothing, but it is still fun and easy!

 

I love latex furniture, but unfortunately is it not very common and if you find something it is expensive!

 

So as I saw at a flee market this old chair for approx. $10, I thought I will give it a shoot and turn that into a nice modern piece!

Here you can see how you overlap the blue points and the ends of the brown lines so there is no skip/duplicate in the pattern when adding repeats of blocks. The original "21" row and column are replaced by the first row/column of two other repeats.

 

I've had so many people how to resize a photo, I finally made a video that shows you exactly what to do. I captured my computer screen as I went through the process of how to resize a photo using the fun, fabulous and FREE PicMonkey photo editing site. I hope y'all find this useful! Watch it here.

I find it helps to hold the seam allowances in place when turning, but it's not super necessary.

step 20: make a pattern for claws

 

place your hand on the newspaper and spread out your fingers. draw a circle that covers your entire hand, then use the circle edge to draw a crab claw shape. the bottom of the pattern piece is made by measuring the length around your wrist, since that's how the claw attaches. make the rectangular part an inch or so longer than your wrist measurement.

 

step 21: cut out claws

 

fold the fleece unevenly in half longways, so that one side sticks out about 4" from the other. when you cut it out, this means you have one piece that's just the claw, and one piece that's the claw with a rectangular 4" wide cuff attached. sew all around the curved edges, leaving the wrist end of the claw open. make sure you flip the pattern piece over to do the 2nd claw so you have a set going one in each direction!

I've noticed a lot of people using photobucket on DoA lately and having trouble so I thought I'd make a tutorial for that too! Hope it helps!
