Hello, All:
Does anyone know how a football (soccer ball) is sewn? I mean the ball sewn with fabrics in the shape of 12 regular pentagons and 20 regular hexagons.
Presumably, the sewing begins with the inside outside; when it is nearly finished with a long enough slit still left, the supposed outside is turned outside, and the supposed inside turned inside; the sewing up of the final slit is done from the outside.
Is this the case? But the puzzling part is that from outside of such a football, every stitch appears to have been done from inside, and there is no sign indicating that any stitch is done from outside.
Can anyone shed some light on the nature of the sewing process of a soccer ball?
Thank you for reading and replying.
