Little project: pin cushions
I saw this wonderful tutorial on the internet for a super easy pin cushion and I could not resist. I’ve used a little scrap of vintage fabric that I found at my mom’s house which is nice and colorful.
I wish I had found nicer buttons, but even so the pin cushions look nice (probably not so if you look too closely!).
I also want to tell you about my cheap but chic woven labels that I’ve ordered for my little projects (these are not for the hats). I almost forgot to sew them in! They are actually “school labels” and cost below 8 euros (less than 12 USD) for 72 labels (includding shipping). I’ve always liked ladybugs and that being one of the drawings available I thought it would be fun. Check out the labels on the blog of my cousin, just perfect for her knitting projects.

Fantastic retro fabric! I just love how your pincushions came out. They are night and day better than my old tomato.

Adorable pin cushions! Somewhere I have a book on pin cushions. Will have to unearth it and share with you. K Q:-)

I like. And they would make a great sussy to give to just about anyone.
