![]() It drew my attention to the fact that friends could see whatever it was I deemed interesting enough to click the "Share" button provided. I said that I hadn't seen such a window before because it was from Reader, which was basically WYSISWYG (what you see is what you get), with updates announced on the blog and so on. I was originally going to have the phrase “never forget” below the icon, but I think the icon alone is much more attractive.Logging in my Google Reader this morning, the first thing that popped up in front of my sleepy eyes was a window like I hadn't seen another before, that made me question what had happened, for my sleepy eyes weren't all that thrilled to find new things and my sleepy mind was all but open to grasping new concepts or start interpreting things. :) Normally, I’d just on Reader, but y’know, I can only G+ it now. Hey, Laine? Surprise gift! Email me your mailing address so I can send you this thing. Now, sew the whole icon to your onesie using the same style of stitching you used to attach those white pieces to the colored ones. Since these stitches will have to be visible, place your stitches where there are already stitches in place. Be careful to conceal the thread in places where it will be covered by the blue square.  Take off the blue piece and loosely sew the red and green ones together. It’s late and I’m too tired to look up wtf it might be called.)Īfter all of the white pieces are sewn to each colored piece, lay all three in place based on the icon. (If anybody knows a proper name for this, let me know. Time to start sewing! I used a basic stitch perpendicular to the edges of the pieces I was sewing to make it look very quilt-y. Now, round off the corners, being careful not to take too much off. Once your pieces are all cut out, lay out everything on your work surface to make sure you’re happy with how it all lays. I think I’ll let my photos do the explaining for how I cut out my last set of RSS-wave shapes: #Google reader friends full#This is where not needing a full third 3×3″ square of white felt comes in. I referred back to the original icon a lot as I worked on this project.įor the white pieces of felt that will lay over the green felt, you can cut out even less. The reason I did less cutting for the red piece was because you don’t see the full square when the blue square is laid over it. Draw two curved lines on the shape and cut around them to form the RSS wave shapes from the icon.įollowing a similar procedure, cut out the following shapes for the red piece of your icon. My felt came in 8.5×11″ sheets, so for the white squares of felt I needed, I cut a 3×8.5″ strip of white felt into two 3×3 squares and used the extra bit leftover as-is.Ĭut one of your 3×3 white pieces into the following shape. Since it’s the old version of Google Reader I’m commemorating here, it only seemed appropriate to replicate the old version’s icon.Ĭut one square each of red, blue and green felt in to 3″x3″ squares. If you happen to have friends totally hooked on G’reader like mine are, you should make them baby onesies or at least patches using the pattern I’m about to share. In honor of their impending baby and to commemorate the end of Google Reader sharing, I decided to make them a special little onesie (surprise, guys!). ![]()
