Pincushions!

I recently tried my hand at making a few pincushions following the instructions I found over at whip up. Let me tell you, it was so, so fast and easy!

Here are the results~

I made these pincushions out of some old barkcloth I found buried in a trunk in a junk store years ago. The barkcloth then served as curtains in my Oakland apartment for about ten years.

I hand stitched the small one to an elastic loop that slips over the arm.

I thought this old barkcloth deserved a new life. Why hide away something so pretty?

If you are have some fabric scraps sitting around, I highly reccomend trying one of these pincushions. So easy!
