Hello! Wow, it is so hot again here. We had some nice weather recently but now it is sticky and muggy again. And it didn't help that I had some chores and cleaning to do.
Gosh, there are like a million ga-zillion things to look at online about sewing and projects and what not. I don't know where to start sometimes. It's fun to just sit and stalk everyone's cute creations but after about 2 hours I feel guilty that I haven't done anything productive!
Finally I decided to make a pin cushion since I have these cheap-y pins I bought years ago that are kind of small and can get lost so easily. And I still have some left over baby food jars. Yes, my youngest is now 6 so I've had these jars for quite a few years but I knew I'd use them one day. Plus the little ones are so cute I didn't want to toss them out.
So here is my first pin cushion. I added some cute hat pins I've had a while too just to look pretty. And I was so happy when I discovered that some of my favorite papers are actually available as fabric! What? Isn't that amazing? Well, maybe you guys already knew that. This particular fabric is Doodlebug! I love Doodlebug paper pads so to find the prints in fabric was just so exciting to me. I bought this particular one from an Etsy store called
Uberstitch.
Here's a different view. I painted the jar cover white and then just added some stuffing to a piece of fabric and sewed it closed by hand. It looks like a mushroom but I think it's cute.
Thanks so much for visiting!
