Pretty Floral Pincushions

April 15, 2008 by candi canncel

Okay, I admit it, I adore pincushions. I’ve been known to make these for gifts and have even demonstrated how to make them on TV. I have 5 or 6 gracing my sewing table at any given time (I know a bit excessive!)

With Spring so abundantly clear here in Los Angeles, my thoughts turn to flowers. Looking out the window of my studio, I see my beautiful pink roses climbing up the wall and absolutely fabulous Bird’s of Paradise (the Official Flower of LA, I might add) in full bloom. Why not mix these natural wonders with my other obsession- Sewing.

Floral pincushions are a fun project that takes very little fabric and very little time. As something you use every day in your sewing life, a pincushion is the perfect way to show your personality and pizzazz in sewing, with very little effort.

Tammy’s Times features a fun floral shaped pincushion using remnant fabric. This easy pattern is such a great basic. I used light blue and peacock colored felt, fuchsia embroidery thread and a whimsical button to create the pincushion in the photo. And, it took less than 20 minutes to complete!

CraftStylish.com brought to you by Tanton Publishing has this gorgeous little pincushion project made with the tops from soda bottles, these would be the perfect little adornment for your sewing machine.

Or what about a cute Pansy Pincushion?

And lastly, how about mixing sewing with jewelry? With this easy pincushion ring project, the possibilities are truly endless!
