Pincushion Tutorial

-

Hexagon Flower Pincushion 
Fabric - Heather Ross Trixie


Back of pincushion- Heather Ross Strawberries 


Thimblepads
I keep them in a little tin!


Sue Daley Millners Needles 
Size 11


Walnut shells


Small scissors and a needle threader!


Aurifil 80 weight thread

A hexagon flower sewn by hand using Aurifil 80 weight thread a piece of backing fabric! 
(2) pieces of Pellon SF101 cut to size!

Iron the Pellon 
to each back of fabric!
It will strengthen 
the front side of each side!

Draw a circle on the backside 
of your flower!
I used a measuring cup, 
to draw a circle!

Put fabrics right sides together
and sew 1/4” inside the circle!


All the way around!


It will look like above!


Use a seam ripper to make about a 1 1/2” gap


Big enough to put your finger in!


Trim around the circle 
(About a 1/4”)
Leaving room for clipping!


Clip all around the circle
 and be careful not to clip the stitches!


Pin the top opening and iron!


It is easier to fill it with Walnut Shells if you use a funnel!


Fill it up and hand sew it shut!

I just realized I never posted this tutorial and life got in the way! I hope this helps you to make a fun pincushion out of your 1 inch hexagon flower! Let me know by leaving a comment! Til the next time Lisa

    I'm glad you posted it. I've never used any of my cute fussy cut hexagons this way, but I do have a pincushion to make, so I think that's coming right up soon! Thank you!

Cartwright Seam Ripper Giveaway

Welcome my friends and those who maybe visiting for the first time! Today, I am so excited to introduce you to a true West Virginian Artesian, Greg Cartwright , of Cartwright's Creations . His items are sold in historical shops throughout West Virginia. He is a lover of reclaimed wood of historical nature and creator of works of art! Greg (Cartwright's Creations) & I A note from Greg Dear Readers I have provided two seam rippers to Lisa so she can have one and one to give away. They are both made from beautiful old growth oak which was reclaimed from the original train depot in Weston (Lewis County), West Virginia. Train service was established in Weston around 1880. This wood is representative of a great part of my passion for this venture in woodworking for me – that is finding wood with a story to it. I must admit that my main focus is pens and pencils but it really doesn’t matter what I am making as long as it is from wood (although I have recently added pens...

Update This Giveaway is closed! And the winner is ... #105 gpc March 5, 2014 at 12:13 PM I follow your blog! :) Think Ruffles Blog Hop Welcome to "In The Boon Docks" and Day 1 of the "Think Ruffles Blog Hop"! My name is Lisa and I am so happy you are here today to see my quilt with ruffles! I have to thank Madam Samm @ Sew We Quilt and Amy (Head Cheerleader)@ Sew Incredibly Crazy for arranging this great hop! What is a ruffle? There are lots of different kinds and Madam Samm left it open to interpretation. She showed us how to make some and at the time I was thinking; ruffled bloomers, ruffled dresses, ruffled pillows. Then I saw a quilt in a magazine with what looked like ruffles! I kind of browsed through the issue of Quilt-it today , March/April 2014 issue and left it in my rocking chair and went to work. The second time I read the "Garden Path" pattern by Ann Baxter, (I had already made the quilt), it read "ruching", you don...
