First of all, thank you to Jimmer for the tea cup pin cushion idea she'd seen in Liberty's. x
I bought this pretty little bone china set at a country fair yesterday, I loved the colours but sadly when I unpacked it I noticed a tiny hair-line crack in the cup so this was the perfect candidate for my much needed pincushion.
There was no sewing involved and instead of polyester stuffing I used an unwanted ball of wool which has worked brilliantly. For the fabric template (yet another tea towel) I used a tea plate and just used Copydex to glue the fabric to the ball of wool. I pinned the tucks until dry. Then more glue around the ball before I stuffed it into the cup. Easy peasy.
beautiful
ReplyDeleteWonderful job and what a great way of recycling the C & S x

ReplyDelete...meant to say how much I LOVE that picture of Pebbles looking at herself on the TV in your header!
ReplyDeleteReally lovely :)
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely and so much nice than the ones in L. Next you'll be putting 'tatty old hankerchiefs' in embroidery rings ;-) (Saw those in a certain shop as well for around £165! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI need a bigger pincushion, I'm sure I have a pretty cup with a crack in it too!! Can't afford the L shop this week lol!!!
