Tessellations are a pattern of shapes that fit

A regular tessellation is a pattern made by repeating a regular polygon.
To name a
tessellation, go
around a vertex and
write down how
many sides each
polygon has, in
order.
There are only 3 regular tessellations: circle the polygons that make regular tessellations.

Did you know!
Always start at the
polygon with the
least number of
sides
A semi-regular tessellation is made of two or more regular polygons. The pattern at each vertex must
be the same! There are only 8 semi-regular tessellations: circle the polygons that make semi-regular
tessellations.

TA DA!
What’s my job!
The running stitch or straight stitch is
the basic stitch in hand-sewing and
embroidery, on which all other forms of
sewing are based.
running stitch
1
Draw a straight line on
your fabric, lightly
draw it.
2
Here we go!
Come up again from
the back, leaving a
space about the
length same as the
first stitch. Go back
down again.
Thread your needle at
beginning of line by
coming up from the
back. Then go back
down again.
3
Repeat along the pattern
line.
Note:
I should note that my
lines are drawn with a
water-soluble pen, so the
spaces where you see
blue lines will rinse away.
have a
go!
gwan!
backstitch
1
Draw a line with
tailors chalk.
What’s my job!
The back stitch forms lines and is most often
used to outline shapes or to add fine detail
TIP: Shorter stitches handle tight curves better.
2
Go back down, but in
the opposite direction
that you are stitching.
Come up from the
back, but instead of
starting at the
beginning of the line,
start about one stitch
length in.
3
Come up again to the
front, make sure your
a stitch-length from
the first stitch.
This is where the name
"back stitch" comes in.
4
Go back down, back-stitching
to the end of the first stitch.
5
Repeat this along the pattern
line. It's as simple as that!
.
stitch some lines, practice.
