To Do Projects: Pincushions

The most basic of sewing supplies; the pincushion. I've been wanting to replace my giant red polka dot one with ric rac that I made last summer...

It turned out a little more 'giant' than I anticipated.

Cute...but I am phasing out of my red and brown phase. I am loving bright colors right now; aquas, pink, turquoise, yellow.....I know quite the change. I've been eyeing some of Heather Bailey's adorable pincushion patterns. Bright and colorful, just what I want.


I am loving the little turtle, it is just too cute. She has kits for all the above patterns, which would be so convenient, but with the pattern that is a $$$ little pincushion.

Then of course I could buy one off of Etsy. (Plus sometimes I enjoy just buying it instead of making it myself.)  However, searching 'pincushion' results in far too many pages for me to search through. As I am trying to limit computer time...not wasting it on that.

Eh. Maybe I'll just stick with the red and brown one.

  2. I bought pear and tangerine pincushions from this lady a few years ago -- http://www.etsy.com/shop/ginpins. They are ADORABLE! I just checked, though, and her prices have more than doubled what I paid for mine.

    There is a Yahoo group called crazyaboutpincushions that offers great inspiration and lots of free pattern links!
