I love my PinPots for the individuality and quirkiness... but i wanted a cushion for my pins to go in my new travel sewing basket (see previous blog post to this!) ... as the PinPots were more for my sewing table. I use loads of pins as i am always pinning items together in "anticipation" of sewing, and then leaving them like that for weeks.
So, i found some of the sweetest fabrics i had in my stash that seemed to have gone unused for a while or were too small for much else. Then i decided to make a cushion (or 10).I am so pleased with how they look :)
BUT,,,, that isn't even my favourite bit!They are stuffed with polystuffing AND gorgeous organic lavender. So even if it sits in my travel basket or in my fabric stash for a while, it is still doing a job. Making everything smell subtley sweet.
I am slowly listing a few of these for sale:
Below is the reverse on some cushions, with a lovely cotton flower.
Summersville avenue fabric has worked really well as a little cushion - possibly my favourite.
And photographed with a bits and pieces from my vintage haberdashery and stationary hoarde.
I do apologise if a bore anyone with my endless pincushions and craft talk, but it is my life you see. It is what makes me happiest (after kissing my little girl to bed) x
