I loved all of her cushions, but I fell in love with her peacock version. I was even more excited because she offered a kit so I could make my own!

Construction was pretty fast and the directions were clear. The only part I got a bit confused on was sewing the cushion all together. The instructions said to use a running stitch, but I couldn't figure out how that would be really secure. So I did a whip stitch instead.
I think Pete the Peacock (I'm compelled to name everything, hehe!) came out adorable!

Then I was thinking a wrist pincushion would be nice. The lovely Cupcake Goddess of A Fashionable Stitch had been hinting about a new product in her shop, a wearable notion. I was really hoping it was going to be wrist pincushions and it was!!! They appeared in her shop today! I purchased her beautiful "Summer" version, which is actually the one (or a similar one) on her wrist in the pictures in her post.

I can not wait to use it, especially when I'm tracing my patterns and making fit adjustments. I will be using it while making my Beignet skirt, which is all cut out and waiting for me to get some time to start sewing!
Oh! Pete has turned out just fine! Well done!
ReplyDeleteI like your whip stitch :) Its your own special touch on the pincushion. I make all of mine with running stitch & it does work fine as well :)
I am glad he made it to you so fast & that you are happy with your pincushion - you should be :)
