“If there ever comes a day
when we can’t be together,
Keep me in your heart,
I’ll stay there forever.”
-Winnie-the-Pooh to Piglet-
journal entry:
Two inches. That is as big as these little pincushions grow. I made a pattern out of a scrap of card stock and cut the tops out of pink chenille and the backs out of various gray and black prints. I sewed a button in the middle of each and wrapped ribbon around until it came back to the center. I added some fun pins from my pin jar and a tag attached with a pink safety pin. I filled the pincushions with poly pellets. They are soft and squishy. It only took an hour to make several and required only a tiny bit of fabric. I gave them to people for Valentines Day who immediately said
“Oooohhhhh . . . it’s a teeny tiny pincushion !”
Little people who saw them just wanted to stick each other with the pins.
“It’s the thought that counts.
But,
if it can’t be eaten
. . . at least make it soft.”
