Blue Poi

I love making sock poi! People pay me for this (instead of all other work I do for them) and it's always kind of a ritual. I didn't forget to lit some candles during the process:-)

This time I had to make two poi - one black-blue and the other blue-black. I made a pattern for one blue and one black poi (with two centimeters added for the seam) and I prepared this nice set of pieces. Like professional cooks do on TV:-)

I sewed the halves together.

I cut a band from a light fabric and sewed it onto the seam to make it smooth and flat.

Well, they're not so bad:-) I just don't like the colour, fortunately the owner did.

And a traditional pocket. I didn't think out anything better that would be linked with blue colour.
