I thought I'd do something novel this week and post something I actually finished!! Yay! My pincushion is finished and ready to mail today! One of the best bits of easter for me is all that time to finish things off. Orders complete, tweed pants in the mail and a pincushion! This one was really fun to make. I used familiar old bits of tweed and shirting and recycled kimono fabric for the back and attached one of my felt lovebirds.
Later today I'll be tackling some PJ's for Seeeorwardah (code name for my Sis's partner in crime, long story). I hope he loves them. I've heard stories of bottomless PJs... that he still wears!! I'm hoping to whip up something suitable using these vintage sheets. Don't old sheets just make the best PJs? They are always soft and lived in from the start.
See where, what and how others are creating over at Kirsty's.
Your pincushion is very sweet. Some lucky swappee is going to be very happy indeed!

Hi Lauren,
ReplyDeleteThank you! It has arrived and it is very, very gorgeous. If I saw it at a market or in a shop, I would just have to buy it. I love the fabrics and the little bird is perfect. Thanks for making my day.
