Today its Pincushions...

Before Completion...

My attempts at a sand-filled pincushion are still going through the trial period. My concern that the sand would eventually leak out throught the holes made over time from numerous pins, has meant that I am using the cushions for a trial period.

I might have filled them with emery filings but have found this difficult to source at a fair price.

I used scraps of Moda 'Sock Monkey' fabric and Aunt Grace (pink). The buttons used are vintage too.

I will keep you posted as to how they do - any comments are most welcome.
