This was made from an old soup bowl and saucer (that had lost its teacup).
This was made from a small teacup and old CD.
This teacup and saucer set was a free gift when I bought 2 packets of (you guessed it - Nescafe white coffee!). Unfortunately, while the saucer was fine, the teacup was a little chipped and had a large crack at the the base so I decided to make it into this sweet little pincushion.
These cute cupcakes pincushions were made from jelly moulds and the baby dresses of my youngest daughter. Brings back sweet memories when I look at them!
Inspired by the wonderful ideas on my "Pincushion & Sewing Kit Ideas" board on Pinterest, I came across some beautiful doll pincushions. After some research, found that they were actually Half-Dolls which we cannot find here at all! So when my girl was clearing her toys and gave me her old doll, I decided to try my own version! I think she looks pretty nice though she might be the biggest doll pincushion ever! Made her dress from fabric, curtain material and lace. It was fun making her and I shall probably try another one (hopefully on a smaller doll).
These hats were made quite awhile back but I wanted to show that you can make pincushions from anything! These were made from old CDs, fabric, T-shirt and curtain materials, embellished with ribbons and handmade ribbon flowers.
Most recent pincushion projects, just finished yesterday, a little square pillow pincushion for my youngest daughter's sewing box. The little wooden chair belongs to my eldest daughter and was an old doll-house furniture which she did not want anymore. Well, after its makeover, she has taken it back again!!
Last but not least, I want to show you my youngest daughter's new sewing box, made from a chocolate tin (we enjoyed finishing all the chocolates!). It turned out very nice and if it will inspire her to sew, then I am very happy indeed! ;)
Have a wonderful day, dear Readers and don't forget to check out my Pinterest Boards for more ideas! :)
