I wanted to send my girl off to college with a handmade pincushion filled with safety pins, threaded needles, buttons and straight pins. So I went thru my unfinished projects and found this funny little half felted piece of wool. Originally I had tried to recycle some cut off pieces of wool sweaters into a felted ball. But as you can see, it didn't felt up the way I had planned, so I stuck it in a drawer for later inspiration. It came when I was searching for something to make Dan's pin cushion out of.
I sewed on a button and seed bead for eyes, and a bugle bead for a mouth, and filled the cushion with all the goodies I thought see might need in a pinch.
Kind of a cutie I think. I really like how he turned out, with personality plus, and hopefully it will come in handy when she needs to do a bit of mending.
