This week’s project inspiration comes from Little_Pink_Button
Another doll project but this time it’s a pin cushion! Ok it can be used as a doll too when pins aren’t stuck into them. 
Our daughter would love these and I can imagine her carrying them around in a bucket — she carries everything around in a bucket — even the beloved “Bear Bear”.
Pin Cushion by Little_Pink_Button
Made out of a Kokka fabric we used to carry (I think she purchased the last piece actually way back when 
), it never occured to me that I could make something from the large print. Then again I only sew straight lines so the dolls heads may have be severed in the pin cushion making process.
One of my 2010 resolutions is to take more classes at The Sewing Studio so I can make things other than blankets (even then the stitching isn’t always straight) — like pin cushions or little bean bags!
Check out the quilt too that she made out of a fat quarter bundle we used to carry (I’ll be posting a new Tina Givens fat quarter bundle soon — we just ran out of the print with the pink dots and bird silhouette). The trim she added makes it even more sweet – totally something I would love to have for my daughter. Ok who am I kidding, I’d like this for myself! How many fat quarter bundles would it take to make an adult size quilt?
Hi!
Thanks for the mention, I really appreciate it! It definitely brightened my day =)
I had a lot of fun making these cushions, as well as the quilt. I have a lot of fun sewing in general, I suppose.
I am thrilled to say that my teen-aged niece has taken to sewing quite nicely. I feel like a proud mama of sorts that she has such a natural talent for it. I will be giving her a sewing machine for Christmas, along with a sewing book, a couple of patterns, and some of the lovely fabric that I have recently ordered from your shoppe. Just a few things to get her started… She has been wanting a machine of her own for a long time now. I can’t wait to see her face when she opens her gift.
OMG these are so adorable. I’m going to give it a try!
