Sock Poi

I decided to make sock poi for one of my pupils who is afraid of the tennis balls. It's part of the training for fireshow and this type of poi makes it easier to learn.

I drew the lines just like that on the fabric. Had to cut four, two for each poi. I calculated that it would take no more than one hour.

I inserted a green lace to the seams and decorated it a bit with machine stitches. I must admit a little miscalculation. In the end it took about three hours :-) Maybe more.. End are folded and sewn to make a hole for the loops and the planned filling is sand.
