I've been experimenting with 2D patterns that yield various 3D shapes. I tried the baseball method, where two figure eight or dumbbell shaped pieces are sewn together to yield a sphere. I tried two versions: (1) Two circles placed adjacent to one another to form a figure eight (left). (2) Two circles placed at a distance equal to the length of the circle edge enclosed by the connecting lines (right). I will start with the first version (on left). I got this pattern by putting four circles together and using the edges of the lateral circles to form the sides. I sewed two identical pieces together like a baseball. The result was a ball with this shape (left). The Blue arrows show the corresponding part on the original pattern. The second version was made by putting four circles equidistant from a centre point, and using the edges of the lateral circles to form the sides. I sewed two identical pieces together like a baseball. The result was a ball with this shape (left). The Blue arrows show the corresponding part on the original pattern. Results are shown here. For spheres, I will use version 2.
