I intend on making another pincushion, so I pulled two cups to use. I wanted to use the buttons to show through the clear glass and add some color as well. I hunted down every pink colored button I had and even a few cream colored ones.
I measured my cups and added 1/2" seam allowance. Then I sewed and stuffed my circle until it was over-full then sewed it shut. I added buttons on either side for decoration.
Once finished, it just needed to be glued in place. It turned out just like the picture I had in my head and I absolutely love it! I can't wait to make more.
That is a cool idea for a cup pincushion. I've seen plenty using teacups but not one using a glass cup and it is so pretty. And, the glass headed pins, they just finish it off nicely. Well done.
ReplyDeleteCute idea and the glass cup is very pretty. You did Great!

Really cute pincushion! I have wanted to make one of these but just haven't taken the time. This post may be my inspiration.
ReplyDeleteClassy and cute! Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteVery Nice! I like the clear glass! Adds charm and beauty! Very Clever *claps*
ReplyDeleteGreat pincushion! I like that the cup is clear, adds a bit of interest to the pincushion.
ReplyDeleteThe pin cushion in the clear glass is really neat. I have both of my g'mas dishes and we don't use the cups so a pin cushion would be cool from them. (wish they were see thru)
ReplyDeletewould you be upset if I made one too ....
