Are you inspired yet??♥ Me too!:)
Have fun, can't wait to see some more lovely pincushions!

Here are a couple cute little things I found to make my pincushion !!!!
Now the fun is creating and adding to them !

Finaly finished my swap Fae !

With the move it was hard for me to send out the fae I made for the If they where really swap I did on one of my yahoo groups. When I received my doll from my partner I will show it here but I may be a little embarrassed because it is much better then mine since I am still new to all this !!!!

Pincushion Jar

I finished the pincushion for the challenge...and made changes along the way.

The first selection of fabric didn't work out like I envisioned. So I went with this pink piece and... Yes... I had it on hand :) The blue print was too big and I wasn't feeling it.

I used the cushion with band of fabric for my lid, glued the earring on and made another cushion for inside the jar. Now pearl pins can be stored inside, separate from others. I really enjoyed working on this and watching it evolve because I only knew I wanted to use the jar.

So, How is everyone else doing?
I hope you are having a creative day!

see you again soon, susie

My pincushion

Well, this went easier than I expected. I gathered all my supplies to go with the vision I had in my head.

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.

Challenge??

Hi Mistea here -

I decided to join the Pin Cushion challenge hosted by the lovely APP here -

Only using what we have to hand she said -

Lets see the choices for the filling include but are not limited to this little lot -

plastic beads, glass beads, squishy beads, polyfil or cotton stuffing

Fabric scraps should be enough to make a pincushion surely -

I have all these - there is a basket under there somewhere.

As I have so many choices my challenge may be deciding what colours to use and the combination of fillings to make it perfect for my sewing space.

I'll come back when I've made some progress.

Hope your week is filled with creative opportunities.
