Re: free pdf pincusion caddy pattern

The circumference of the tube in the center is 11", because the piece of interfacing forms the outside of the tube. The circumference of a circle is the diameter times pi (pi=3.14); if you know the circumference, you can calculate the diameter by dividing the circumference by pi.

i get the diametre of 3.5.
why is the 11 divided by pi?
maybe i didnt read thru the pattern fully.
or could be cuz i've been out in the hot early arvo sun pruning roses etc.

dh was using the electric hedge trimmer (on something i thot should be pruned out by hand or at the base by pruning saw) when (cuz he doesnt take enough care sometimes) he hedgetrimmed the extension cord....POP!!! end of his hedge trimming for awhile, til i can replace the plug at the new end of the cord.
havent looked at it yet so not sure how much we're losing off that one. t'was a good length of cord too.
doesnt matter how many times i tell him to take extra care he eventually cuts thru something he shouldnt.
he did manage to chain saw down the dead cabbage tree tho. got a couple of good size pieces we can stand in the garden, wrap some chicken wire around and use to maybe grow apple cukes up next summer. apple cukes are fruit, eh, lol. cant replant vege next year, oh no, lol. tho if they return of their own reseeding is that my fault??? <rhetorical, lol>

The directions say to cut a rectangle 3.5" x 11" for the center tube.
Based on those measurements, I think the center cylinder will end up
about 3.5" in diameter (11" divided by pi - 3.14) and 3.5" high. Does
that give you some idea of the size?
