I thought it will be nice to have more pattern weights when I am dealing with patterns. This will be a great gift idea for a seamstress friend too. Are you ready to make this with me?

Print out the free PDF pattern I created and cut the triangle. Trace that onto fabric, then cut. This is a great project to use your scraps, but you need at least 5"x 5" fabric.
My secret to have crisp lines for the tetrahedron is to press the edges with an iron before you start sewing.
Bring tips A and B together with right side of the fabric and sew the seam.
Next, bring B and C together and sew the seam.
Then, sew the last seam half way.
Turn the fabric inside out, and stuff it with rice. To keep the shape more crisp I kept adding the rice as I was slip stitching the opening.
Now you have a pattern weight. :)
It is fun to make this whenever you have saved up scraps that you like. Though, it goes much quicker when you establish an assembly line. I cut all of them at once, sewed them at once, and while I was watching a movie with the kids, I was able to turn the fabric inside out, stuff them and slip stitch close the openings. This is especially effective when you are making these as a gift for someone in a hurry. As a result, I made quite bit already in different colors and patterns...
