Well, Fathers Day is going swimmingly here. I am blessed with a hubby who thinks the perfect Fathers Day is spent playing in the shed - it works out very well for me.
So I have spent some time finishing the most detailed pincushion I have ever made. So much work for such a tiny project, but I love the end result.
I have to admit that stuffing things is my absolute, least favourite part of sewing. Followed closely, by sewing up the hole where the stuffing went in.
But it's done now, and with three different types of fill. A little toy stuffing at the top, followed by the suggested walnut shells (which I didn't have enough of.... grrrr), finished off with some of that wheat you put in heat packs.
It will probably live it's life as an ornamental pincushion, so the wheat should be ok (fingers crossed that the mice never find it).

On a happy, Spring note, I have been through ALL the boys clothes today - got a big load for Vinnies. And now i'm going to take advantage of the gorgeous day and do something in the garden, instead of just sitting in the sun sewing.
Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads.

Hi Susan...your pin cushion looks adorable sitting atop that rustic timber! Sounds like a good day all round at your house...especially with Hubby occupying himself in the shed which leaves you free to potter about! My book should hopefully arrive this week. Have a great week xo
ReplyDeleteI love it but you know that already :o) hugs
ReplyDeleteOh it is just too sweet for words...love it! Enjoy your sunny day.
ReplyDeleteIts soooo cute! You can't put pins in ti!!.. Just admire it! (? what side ways fussy cutting...don't notice anything!)
ReplyDeleteWOW Susan, it is so perfect! Far too lovely to stab with pins..... and definitely worth all the fiddly bits too. Great work!
ReplyDeleteIt may be tiny, but I think it was well worth the effort. Just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous. I can just see those little Clover applique pins in it.
ReplyDeleteLove the end product....and love the fabric...my favourite colours! Im with you on stuffing, dislike it almost as much as adding binding on a quilt with the machine, although I dont mind hand stitching the binding down to finish...lol
ReplyDeleteOh it turned out beautiful!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour pincushion is just perfect, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Tatyana
