More and More Pincushions

Let me apologize in the case you're getting tired
of looking at pincushions on this blog. I'm having
too much fun making them. There aren't a lot of
sewing projects that you can make five of them
within a day. To me, when I finish a project is
the best part of my crafting moment. With pincushions,
I can experience the joy 5 times a day. Woo hoo!



This one is made for a custom order.
It seems that penguin pincushions are the most popular
ones so far, so I'll make more, but my policy for my shop
is that I don't make identical items. I'll have fun
coming up with more different designs with this penguin fabric;)



I looooove this one. The fabric that you see in the center
is one of the fabrics I've purchased through Japanese
yahoo auction. I've wanted to make something with it, but
I didn't know what to make with such busy fabric like this.



but when I came up with this idea to use as a center
of attention for a pincushion, I knew it would be fun,
so I made this guy. It looks like a vintage package
of rose seeds or something...;)



I really really adore this one too. This blue rose
fabric is one of my favorite finds from the Japan trip
last year. I think it looks kinda nice with my fabric
(the textile gray fabric) and the white/blue fabric
I cut out from a vintage sheet.



This whole idea of leaving the edges of pincushions raw
comes from one of my Japanese craft books. It doesn't
say anything about treating the edges with fray stopper,
but I got a little worried about this particular pin
cushion, so I applied fray stopper a little.



How about a pincushion that makes you think of chocolate?
I made a brown teapot patchwork last night and realized
how much I like the combination of several different
kind of brown fabrics! And I love chocolate.



I wanted to add a little accent to this pincushion.
Again, I applied fray stopper around this 'quilting',
since I sewed around it like crazy.



Another pincushion that says 'Quilting' ;)
This fabric in front is just waaaaaaay too cute,
but again, I never found use of it before.



I am glad that finally it's in use.
A good thing about making pincushions is that
fabric with teeny tiny patterns can be useful!

All the pincushions are available in my shop!
Let me know you came from here and receive a
small piece of Japanese fabric when you snatch
items from my shop!



By the way, I finally created a pdf for the teapot
pattern!! The only thing left for me is to get
Joe's help and use his web hosting space to make it
available on the Internet for you guys. Hopefully
I'll be back tomorrow with the pdf!!
