Pin Cushion

Ive volunteered to run a stall for my WI at our village fair later in the year. I thought a "Homemade and Vintage" theme would enable most people to contribute to the stall. Ive been making a few things that I thought might sell, including this small button jar/pincushion combo. You know I love creative faffing!

    Hi Diane thanks for your comments will have to have a meet up soon. Love the jar pincushion I have made one very similar before. I could make something small for your stall if you wish it would give me a purpose to do some making - actually I already have some doorstops you could have I made some for a small craft fair and they didnt sell (they are quite nice though).Let me know. Love Debs X Got to go got Nephew to get to school and I am not dressed yet tee hee too much time 'well used' on tinternet.

    The pincushion looks lovely - great idea to have the buttons in the jar beneath.

    Oh I NEED one of those - what a lovely idea. What did you use to fill out the pin cushion? It wasn't an odd sock was it!

    I love that! It's so sweet and makes me want to run home and sew. I am sure your stall will be a big hit with anyone who sees it. :)

    This looks really sweet - I don't sew and have no need of buttons or a pin cushion but I am tempted to make one all the same! You can't beat a bit of faffing...

    Very crafty, Diane! The jar wouldn't be big enough for all my buttons, I'm afraid - I have a big jar of them that I don't want. If you care to pop across the Pennines any time, you can have them!

    Your word verification is "shamed" - I feel all embarrassed now!
