Just a few pincushions I decided I needed to make for gifts. These are made using 2-5" circles. Stuffed with polyester filling and embroidery floss used to divide the sections. I thought they needed something a little extra so I made yo-yo's to go under the buttons. If you are interested in making some of your own, visit Whipup for instructions.
Update on Chocolate Swap; I'm still waiting for my chocolates to arrive in the mail...boohoo My partner Annie received the goodies I sent to her. I hope mine from her will arrive soon...yum...yum.
Here's another pincushion using different fabrics.
Oh man - is this the project for me . . . I have been working on those pennies and cutting out the centers from the middle and top layer to keep the bulk down in the finished piece. Now I have 90 circles of fabric in two different sizes just screaming for a place to land. Thanks for the link - off to make a new bookmark *s*
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable! Thanks for the link, wish the peeps that work for me would appreciate pin cushions! Some how I don't think they would "get it"!
ReplyDeleteLOVE those pincushions! I'm with Mar -- I sure wish everyone on my list would enjoy a pincushion -- they'd be so fun and quick to make!
ReplyDeleteOh ya Wendy those pincushions are ADORABLE. I'm hoping my sewing peeps don't see this. These will be so cute at the table for table favors for our holiday dinner that I always do. I'm off to make this a bookmark as well. Thanks for sharing sweetie

ReplyDeleteOh Wendy I love your pin cushions...the yoyo is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThose look fabulous in the basket! I like the brown one, too. This is the kind I would have made for the pincushion swap, but I figured they were outlawed by the "no-pillow" rule. I just got a whole book on pincushions, and there are some darling ones in it to try!
ReplyDeleteThe pin cushions are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWhat cute pincushions. I love the yo yo on it. And I'm sure your chocolate will arrive soon. That is unless your mailman smelled them and ATE them. LOL!!!!
