Pi Day Crafting

It shouldn't be news to anyone that if you type "pie" into the search function of Pinterest you get a whole lot of, well, pie. The edible kind, that is. But what I wondered is what types of crafts might be associated with this geekiest of holidays that celebrates the mathematical constant pi (3.14) on March 14th.

Pumpkin Pie Crafts has an easy and adorable kid's apron tutorial. And it gives me an opportunity for a shameless plug for my apron class on Saturday, April 5th from 10-12 at the Sew-op. It's a level 2 class (prior sewing experience helpful) that will teach you how to read and use a pattern, specifically a printable internet pattern, and create an apron. This past month at the Sew-op we've explored several different ways of making aprons and it's been a lot of fun.

Pumpkin Pie Crafts also has a quick tutorial for making a tie-front cardi out of a tee shirt. And a crochet flower headband.

A simple pi symbol on a tee shirt can be accomplished via sewing or painting or freezer paper stencil.

These patches remind me of these felt coastersfrom craft snob.

And finally, in honor of the edible type of pi or pie, my family's favorite pie recipe: Not Derby Pie.
