You’ve come a long way, Baby! Remember the first one you made, out of a soda bottle cap? It’s almost a shame to cover up any of the prettiness with pins!
I am just commenting to say that I love each and every thing that you post on this blog. This site has ousted CraftZine as the first place I go when doing my crafty blog rounds. Please keep up the fantastic work, it’s great crafty inspiration.
That is sooo sweet. Your pins have to be loving their new home. I am having some serious pincushion envy. I want to ask where you got the pattern but my gut tells me you winged it… Would you mind sharing some general steps?
Sure! So it’s all made from craft felt, and the two circles on top and bottom are about 3 5/8″ in diameter. The middle is a rectangle measuring about 2 1/4″ X 13″. I sewed the rectangle’s short ends together with a 1/4 inch seam, and then embellished the top circle with various flower designs layered on top of eachother, and sewn on with embroidery floss. I then just sewed the top and bottom to the middle rectangle (now tube) with a whip stitch. When I only had about an inch or two left to whip stitch, I stuffed it and then finished it. That’s it!
It’s good stuff.
