Across the Pond - Skinny Pinny

I LOVED this months project for the

Across the Pond sew along.

 

Incase you need a refresher,

this monthly project is hosted by

Amy of Amy Made That!,

Susie of Susie's Sunroom, 

and

Amanda of The Patchsmith

 

They take turns sharing a project for the month.

 

This month was hosted by Susie and her project was the Skinny Pincushion.

You can find the tutorial by Green Bean Patterns

This goes together very quickly

and is SO cute.

 

The first one doesn't work for my machine. 

I keep my extension table on,

so I needed to make mine a bit skinnier to

accommodate the small space.

 

So here's my first one.

 

 

 

I will be giving this one as a gift.

I'm pretty sure I know who will get it.

 

 

I used Amy's measurements to make my second one and it worked perfectly.

 

I like to use crushed walnut shells

to fill my pin cushions.

My sister and I buy a bag of them

from the pet shop and then split it.

(because you get a HUGE bag!)

I love the weight and firmness the crushed shells

give the cushions.

 

 

I also did a little embellishing

 

I love those polka dot buttons!

The lace and button can be found at

the Little Red Cottage on Etsy.

You can find them

HERE.

 

 

So hurry up and go make yours!

And if you do,

make sure to share in the Flickr group.
