These pincushions are so much fun to make. I have ideas for several more.

Two New Pincushions!!

I played all day and finished up these little pincushions.

The first one is a little mouse. Perhaps he is a wizard. He is holding a star wand pin.

The orange fabric is a vintage velvet upholstery fabric. It is the original color. Can you imagine having a couch or chair that color! Wow

This one is my favorite so far.

It is available on etsy

He is made out of the same fabrics as the one I posted yesterday but put together in a slightly different way.

I was asked how big these are.

The bear pincushions measure 4" tall. The bear itself is 2.5"

The mouse pincushion measures 5" tall. The mouse is 3" including its hat.

I am making a series of these all slightly different. Some very different :o)

I have 3 more in various stages of completion.

Hopefully I will have a little mouse standing on an orange base finished tomorrow. He is so whimsical and cute!
