since some days back i was obsesed with the idea to make a pincushion because is just anoying being taking out and in every single pin from the original circle.. hmm..thing.. when im sewing, so i decided to make a hand pincushion but i didnt want only a little boring pillow but something that makes sense to me and as you saw in my last post i started making some sketches of an anatomical heart and i just loved the idea.. so here you have pictures of the process..:D just decide the shape you want, make your own and be happy like me

1. Decide the shape of your pincushion, it can be whatever you want, just let your imagination fly, i decided to make this heart but you do what you like, then make a drawing of it
2. transfer the parts of your drawing to micro paper or any paper u use for patterns and cut it
:)
3. pin your patterns to your fabric, and cut it, here i used felt and satin but you can use any leftover pieces of fabric you have, the dark blue piece is the base of my pincushion so is only the shape of the heart, no details. i have 2 of these
4. then i sew the pieces of my front part together on one of my base pieces…
5. do embroidery work if you need it
6. previously i attached the elastic to my second base piece, then sew both pieces together and put acrylic filling inside
and its done
now insert all your pins and enjoy sewing
