Pincushions

07/08/2009 by Rachel D.

Less than 1/4 hour after I came back from work I was already in front of the sewing machine, thanks to Anita’s Little Stitches who has put an article with lots and lots and lots of tutorials among which I discovered the Square Deal Pincushion of Heather Bailey.

Just the time to choose fabric, ribbon, button, to make some stitches and here is my version of that pincushion. First the front,

pincushion1-recto

then the back.

pincushion1-verso

Pincushions exist in so many shapes and sizes it’s always a pleasure to make… and to offer.

Here are some I’ve made :

coussin-hexagones

This one looks like a big cake (6″)…

coussins-lavande

and these are filled with lavendar (can you smell it ? )

coussin-lapin

Here, I rabbit decided it was a nice place to stay.

coussins-trio

And these three are from my “creation”.

Now, it’s your turn to have fun.

marguerite-rose I just love these flowers.

Hoping you enjoyed your visit. Have a nice weekend.

You must just start another new blog. How are you doing? I think you are the Rachel that I had emailed to about over about 2 years ago. You are very welcome of the tutorials. I was so excited that I found something really cute to share. Have a wonderful weekend. Your blog is very pretty with flowers and the pincushions are so beautiful.

  L’important c’est d’avoir pass� un agr�able moment. J’adore les boutons du m�me genre mais difficile d’en trouver facilement. Aujourd’hui, couture en perspective. Bisous

  Hello Jocelyn, I totally agree with you. That’s why I prefer offering them than using them. Have a nice day and thank you for your comment.
