I have really been inspired by all the amazing cuties who have done this pincushion. Here is my attempt. The white one is sewn up by hand and is really the better one. I tried something different with the other one .. I sewed it up on the machine .. the shape isn't quite as good .. I think I'll practise some more.

These are very pretty. I've been admiring all the ones done and I'd like to do. Question- Do you just use fiber fill inside.

I love them. I also did my sewing on the machine to close mine, but I dont' have the edge you have created. How did you do this? thank you.

I sewed them on the right side using a close zig-zag stitch. I am going to try doing them the other way with the seam on the inside and see if I can get a better shape.

jkdavis1996 by jkdavis1996 19 Mar 2011

I like the seam on the outside...it is different and gives definite shape to the angular line.

They look lovely - what did you do round the edge?

1 comment
maryp1 by maryp1 19 Mar 2011

Thankyou. On the white one I handsewed a blanket stitch .. the coloured one I sewed up on the machine using a very close zig-zag stitch after folding edge under .. I think that's why it is so pointy on the corners it's a little thick whereas when handsewn it is finer.

I lost count, but I think Suzette should prepare to do another one...

shirlener88 by shirlener88 19 Mar 2011

YES she should.

maryp1 by maryp1 19 Mar 2011

Thankyou. I was rather pleased with my effort although my hand cramped up while doing the white one.
