Vintage Pin Cushion {I love this!}
This was such a simple and yet fulfilling craft to make. There is nothing that frustrates me more than taking time, effort, and money to make something that does not turn out the way you planned…that was definitely NOT the case with this….

A few weeks ago I came across this craft in Romantic Country Magazine and have been wanting to make it ever since. This is a design by Dawn Edmonson at The Feathered Nest.

  • How to make a pin cushions. Vintage Pin Cushion - Step 1
    Step 1

    I went to my favorite antique store yesterday, The Preserve Cottage {has Pam also a wonderful online shop} and found the beautiful silver plated, monogrammed creamer and used that as my starting point. I had everything else on hand.

    I first stuffed some tissue paper at the bottom of the creamer.

    Next, I cut a small square of white broadcloth, gathered the edge with a gathering stitch, placed a small amount of fiberfill in the center, pulled the stitching tightly and knotted it off.

    Next, I hot glued some antique lace trim {I had a table runner that had seen better days with some of the trim missing so I didn’t feel so bad for salvaging what I could}. I next placed the pouf of fabric and lace into my creamer hot glueing it into place.

    I used a few of my favorite ribbons to make a simple bow, stitching it in the center and attaching some buttons I had saved from my Grandmother’ s button box. I added some Dritz straight pins {purchased at Wal Mart} and a charm that I had on hand. That was it. This would make a great gift for a sewer and would certainly be unique and inexpensive. happy hugs, mb.
