Description

I was watching an older episode of Project Runway and saw a designer wearing a HUGE wrist pin cushion. I knew I had to make myself one. Since I adore Batman, I decided to make a Batman wrist pin cushion!

Instructions

  1. Small p8030005

    First you'll need to trace around the oval stencil. I left about a 1/2 inch seam allowance. Cut 2 ovals.

  2. Small p8030008

    Now measure around the outside edge of the oval.

  3. Small p8030009

    Add one inch to the above measurement, and make the width of the strip 2 inches. Cut this strip out. This will be the outside edge of the cushion. (My felt was too short to cut one continuous strip, so I divided my measurement in two and cut two strips.)

  4. Small p8030010

    Trace one of the felt ovals onto the coffee lid. Cut.

  5. Small p8030011

    Trace the Batman symbol onto the black felt. Cut it out.

  6. Small p8030012

    Measure your wrist. Add two inches to the circumference measurement, and make the width 2 inches. Cut two of these. This will be your wrist cuff.

  7. Small p8030013

    Pin the Batman symbol to one of the ovals, and stitch it down.

  8. Small p8030015

    Pin the two wrist cuff pieces together, and edge stitch them together.

  9. Small p8030016

    Stitch Velcro to the wrist cuff as pictured above.

  10. Small p8030017

    Pin the non-Batman symbol oval to the outside edge piece. Stitch.

  11. Small p8030018

    Pin the Batman symbol oval to the piece you just stitched, leaving an opening large enough to slip the plastic oval into the cushion. Stitch. Turn the cushion right side out.

  12. Small p8030021

    Slip the plastic oval into the cushion. You may have to trim it down a bit to get it to fit properly inside.

  13. Small p8030023

    Now stuff the cushion! Make sure it's firm.

  14. Small p8030024

    Slip stitch the opening closed.

  15. Small p8030026

    Use a hot glue gun to glue the pin cushion to the wrist cuff. And ta da! You're done!
