How do I sew a sphere?

Question

I'm making a plushie, and I need to know how to sew a sphere... I'm not an expert, either, so it'd be great if it was something simple. ^__^ Thanks!

Answer 1

something like a volleyball or baseball since those are sewn. Beach balls have a simpler pattern and I bet there are others

Answer 2

There's many, many ways, but I don't recommend free-handing it.  You can find a pattern at any fabric shop or even Wal-Mart (look in the craft or home decor section of the pattern books).  Something designed like a beach ball is probably easiest.

Simplicity 7112 has a sphere pillow - looks a little smaller than a basketball.

There's a really fun book called "Patchwork Puzzle Balls" that makes spheres out of various shapes - hexagons, triangles, etc.
