Finally..
here it comes the last instructions for the pincushion…:o)
Cut a 1 3/4″ x about 23″ strip
*Sew this strip to the side of the pincushion…
(havent figured out the length of the stip… time..flies…:O)
But I did like this…
I started a little bit in on the strip ..sewed almost until the end…
pinned the ends together…
*then I sewed the ends together…
*Split the seam and continue to
sew the opening shut…
Now it should look like a little hat..:O)
Inside…
Outside…
*Use Template C to cut out a bottom
( you can use a a fusible interface here if you want a sturdy bottom)
*Pin the bottom evenly around the pincushion..
start with four pins and add more…
*Use the rest of the ric rac…
lay it between the layers...
start a little bit in on the ric rac…
You can see on the picture that the top of the ric rac is just
touching the outer edge of the side of the pincushion…
*Tuck the ric rac in while sewing….and
keep on sewing like this until the end…
tuck the ends in and continue sewing the opening shut.
*Make an innerbag in some scrap fabric…
( wont show)
(use template C … make it a seam allowance smaller)
*Fill the innerbag with some filling..
(walnut shells…rice or something with weight)
*Sew the opening shut on the machine…
dont bother to turn …raw ends out..;O)
Turn the pincushion inside out…
tuck the innerbag inside..
and start filling the pincushion with polyester fill..
nice and firm..!!!!
And sew the opening shut by hand..
Nicer that way!!!
And voila.. FINISHED!!!!
There you have a new pincushion just in time for Christmas!!!:O))
Close up ..again..:O)
From the side…
And a picture of the finished one!!!
With this I want wish you all
A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS…
And please if you make the pincushion…
do send me a picture so I can see what you made..
Im so curious!!! :O)))
