pin cushion

Sometimes it's fun to allow a project to morph into whatever it wants to be.



This pincushion started life as a wing for a bird, cut from a felted jumper and trimmed with a blanket stitch edging.

But I decided not to go ahead with that plan... so it lay around wastefully for a while.

A lonely, single wing.

Then I was wanting a hat embellishment, so I added a scrappy flower in green felt... with a few french knots in the centre.

But I trimmed the petals too closely together, and they pulled off really easily.

Never mind.

I added a few more french knots, and now it makes a perfect pin cushion!
