Optical Glass House – Contemporist

January 11, 2013 by Cathi Milligan

hk_100113_02-630x944I recently wrote about a solar glass roof…this post is about an Optical Glass House in Japan. The front of this building is made of borosilicate glass bricks which is a great choice because of their strength and ability to stand weather extremes. And it looks cool too. This story came from the blog, Contemporist, a design blog that focuses on architecture and interiors. The glass blocks are strung together with steel bars as well as having steel bars running laterally. This is all for structural support since the glass blocks wouldn’t stand on their own with only concrete. The look is amazing and it’s also a great sound barrier.

Unisex Pajama Top Free Pattern

The key to this pattern is the fabric you choose to use. Use silk for a luxurious feeling, flannel for winter comfort, or cotton for a Sunday morning breakfast.

Another important detail will be the piping on this unisex pajama pattern. Therefore, I would push this project up to the Intermediate Level of difficulty. If you are a beginner sewist and still want to make these pajamas, avoid working with the piping and make sure you own a serger. But, by all means, go ahead and push yourself if you want a challenge. I would never discourage anyone from trying and pushing out of your comfort zone.
