Origami has been one of my hobbies since I was 8 years old. Almost all origami pieces start with one of the origami bases: a folded form that starts a piece. This is one such base. You can find a list of all the bases I have tutorials for here: https://jessieathome.com/origami-bases/
Start the Origami Book Base with your square paper with flat sides on top and bottom.
Fold left side over to right side and crease.
The Origami Kite Base is the start of various Origami Patterns and also the start of the Diamond Base and the Fish Base. You will fine the written and pictorial pattern for the Origami Kite Base below.

Back in March I went to my friend Beth’s wedding shower and presented her with the presents seen above. They were both from her registry, a large self-watering planter, and a book “Sewing for Dummies”. Inside the book was a note saying she would also receive a day of sewing lessons from me. This is a decent gift, as I used to run a university costume department and teach sewing and pattern making.
It took a while to come up with a time we were both able to spend the day together. This Saturday was it. I drove to her place in Pennsylvania, a bit of a drive, but worth it! I stopped at the craft store on the way and picked up a cute little apron kit and some pre-cut strips and squares to make a quilt for craft hope, I’ll write more about that in a bit.
