Learn How to Make Pins with this quick and easy method! Such a fun crafting technique that any crafter can do! By Rebecca E. Parsons for Graphics Fairy.
I try to catch up on my dear friend Liz’ SewingRoom SewAlong project. I probably won’t create all the sewing related items I’ve missed over the last few months, but the plan is to make a thread catcher and a sewing machine cover within the next weeks. I’ll maybe add this month’s challenge – a scissor’s etui to the do-do list as well. The April project is done already. I’ve made this pincushion, using again a sugar bowl that I had found at the flea market last year. ******* Shortly before our move I had received a wonderful package from my dear Danish friend Dorthe and it’s overdue that I show you these. Sweet Dorthe over at Den Lille Lade had created a gorgeous fabric collage with a lovely rose image for me. Take a look at all the yummy laces she had used. Absolutely beautiful! Dorthe had also included this fabulous angel for a safe travel. Isn’t she pretty? I kept her in my purse during our 3-day ride South and the trip went well :-). Now she’s got a place in the studio. Other sweet gifts were this pretty lavender heart and the wonderful vintages clips. Thank you again, dear Dorthe!!! You know how much I love your gifts. Everything will be treasured for sure. I still work on finishing up the studio for the “Where Bloggers Create” party on July 14th. Without that deadline in mind I probably would have put off several things for quite a while, like painting some more pieces of furniture etc. Now I’m happy that they are done or will be finished soon. See you next Saturday then … :-) Have a lovely weekend! HUGS, Julia
A unique and fun 2 in 1 pincushion. Unscrew the top to store bobbins, threads, buttons and more! The cushion top has ample space to stick multiple pins. I have 300 in mine! (see photo, pins not included). Unique scissors print 100% cotton fabric. Finished with a cute twill measuring tape ribbon. Note: I add walnut shells to the center of the pincushion. If you have a nut allergy, let me know. I will not add them. Dimensions: base 3" diameter, height approximately 5" A great gift for yourself or a sewer in your life! NOTE: PINS AND SAFETY PINS ARE NOT INCLUDED!
I’ve never given much thought to costuming in the steampunk realm, until I did. My sewing fairy godmother once told me that steampunk costumes should have a theme or purpose, and while that m…

Black Eyed Susan Linen Pincushion Lavender and Linen Pincushion Sometimes it you need to add that one last detail to take something from average to extraordinary. Perhaps it is adding function and ease of use, sometimes it means you need to pop on one more detail in the design. I've had a lot of requests for this pincushion. Its so nice and big and pretty. I began with the Lavender design and just finished the Black Eyed Susan version. This particular design is simply the "classic". You can find that tutorial on my blog. What makes this one better than the rest is the embroidery. Its simple yet really pretty. I even hand embroider a covered button to completely customize this design. A standard detail in most all of my pincushions is the pocket of emery enclosed in each cushion. It adds just enough emery to keep your pins sharp, without over-polishing them to the point that the finish is worn off. The emery pocket is simply a small disc, made of muslin. Its filled loosely with emery and stuffed inside each classic pincushion. You can feel it if you give your pincushion a squeeze. The emery is surrounded by polyester fiber fill. This gives each pincushion a lofty, plump appearance. It also provides a safe way to store your pins and needles long term. To find out how to go about creating the button for this pincushion, go to my list of tutorials on the left side of my blog.
