Sewing pattern: Rolled felted wool pincushion

Becky from Patchwork Posse shows how you can create pretty pincushions from felted wool. It uses long strips of wool so it’s a great project for using scraps of felted wool left over from other projects. They’re super cute when you mix several colors together in one pincushion! She made one that looked like a watermelon, and another made from browns to mimic a tree trunk.
