Vintage Scrap Pin Cushion

This is the maxi pin cushion I made using scraps that I bought as part of a huge bag of scraps from the 1960's and 1970's.

The bottom is a knit fabric and Iused a blanket stitch on the bottom. there is felt and stuffing in the pin cushions and it makes me happy to look at it.

no pattern used.

first patchwork!

Sewing a Pin Cushion

thrifted Vintage fabrics from a massive stash of 60's/70's fabrics.

My first seamstress class was great...such a lovely time! I learnt to professionally hem pants. my teacher told me that sewing is a wonderful job and the quietness of it is really wonderful. I noticed the lovely window patchwork pincushions in faded floral cotton...i want a pincushion to suit my tastes.

wheeee....gosh i love fabrics.
