The
hand embroidered wool flower in a circle that I recently made; I decided to make it into a pincushion. A rather large pincushion, but I love it! I stuffed it with polyester fiber filling and added some crushed walnut shells inside at the bottom too to help weigh it down. It looks pretty and I love using it and it holds a ton of pins too!!!
|
My pins are quite happy in this new pincushion I made. It holds a lot of pins too! I love my Clover brand glass head pins; they are so sharp and thin that they glide easily into any fabric. |
|
I added some rickrack on the side all the way around the pincushion too. It covered up the seam (not that it needed to be covered) and added another decorative element. |
Pin It Now!
I love this idea. I'm betting it would look great as a regular pillow as well. Thank you for sharing!

That's an amazing little work of art. You're so creative!
ReplyDeleteLooks great, Daryl. I think that I am the only one that pulls my pins out of the box they came in! And it is not because I haven't seen pin cushions I like. I just haven't gotten around to it...yet.
ReplyDeleteA little beauty it is! I can see how happy your pins are! :-) I like my pins in a bowl, but I use a pin cushion for my needles.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Very artistic. You should make some regular cushions with these techniques. You are an artist!
ReplyDeleteLovely Daryl and great design:) TFS

Great pin cushion!
ReplyDeleteNice finish!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely finish!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty pincushion! I may have to go looking for those Clover pins. For some reason some of mine have started to get really rough edges that catch when I go to use them so it's time for replacements.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up again to Monday's Stitchery Link Party. I'm glad I got to see what you turned the wool flower into.
Your pin cushion looks great.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pin cushion! I would love for you to link up to the Stitch It, Blog It, Share It Link Party going on now at BehindtheSeamsSewing.com.
