Harvest of pincushions


I think most crafters would agree that with materials costing a fair bit, you really don't want any to go to waste. So what to do with small scraps of fabric? well pincushions of course!

I came across the pattern for these fruitilicious pincushions by Heather Bailey and knew I had to make some! They're quite quick to make, only use a small amount of scrap fabric and a bit of felt and they look gorgeous.

For the apple and the pear, I have replaced the stem by a ribbon so that they could be hung somewhere. In fact, I think they would look quite quirky in a Christmas tree!

And if you filled them with lavender instead of stuffing, they would make rather pretty scented bags, wouldn't they?
