    • RE: Made a swing for my son. Need Help.

      Update.

      After getting some advice from Fredo6 I went back to the drawing board on this. I stared at the wall for a few hours thinking before I came up with a technique to take any sphere or ellipsoid cut it into panels and easily unfold it (shown below). I'm unfolding everything now and will lay it all out to make a sewing pattern.

      Thanks gang.

    • Made a swing for my son. Need Help.

      Peeps, I designed a sailboat swing for my son and need to take it back apart so I can sew it. I know how to sew from a pattern. Is there an easy way to make a pattern from my design? Is there a single plugin that I can use to make this as painless as possible? I can attach the SU file if it would help. I've attached a screen grab.

      Some other info:
      -The bottom portion will be stuffed with bean bag foam
      -The material used will be heavy weight nylon (think duffel bag material.)
      -Most of the faces were made with the soap/skin/bubble plugin.

      Sorry if this is a dumb question. I am new to SU.
