Pinhead



As you may have noticed, I am a big fan of paper piecing at the moment, in particular hexagons! I was getting a bit impatient to see what the fabric would be like with the papers removed, so I made this quick pin cushion to satisfy my curiosity. The fabrics are both from 'Fancy Moon'.

I've never really bothered with a pin cushion in the past, but I'm already finding it really useful as a place to quickly stick my pins as I sew on my machine rather than spreading them around the room (ow...) or breaking the machine needle (doh...).


I'm a big fan of these ball headed pins. I've been making quite a few stuffed toys recently and I always worry that I'm going to lose smaller dressmakers pins in the filling.
