Here is three sewing caddies.... It is a pattern I got free from "The Painted Quilt" blog.... Kaarn offers a free pattern "The First Friday" of every month.. I made these for three of my friends and as you see in the pictures below a closer shot of each section... There are two large pockets to hold all you sewing needs ...I included a pair of scissors and made a fob for it with their name and beads.... I also included some pins and a few sewing needles....I made two of the caddies wider than the pattern called for ... Now, I need to make one for myself... Thanks Kaarn Johnston at "The Painted Quilt" for such a lovely pattern... You can get to Kaarn blog by clicking (First Friday Freebie logo) on my left side of my blog.... :)
Hi, as you know I made one of these pincushion before for myself... I had made 4 more "Buckshot Pincushion" for my friends and my sister (Debbie) for Christmas ... I took a close shot of the two colors that I made so you can see the material that I used... The pattern calls for a button on the top, but I wanted to dress it up and place a bow on it... I uses "Silca Gel" for the filler and before I closed the opening I also add a small amount of Fiber Fill to push into the middle so the Gel will stay at the top... Silca Gel you can find in a floral department and it will sharpen your needles when you use it....It is heavy and will stay put, that is why I put mine near my sewing machine.... This way my pins are at hands reach... Hope you ladies all enjoy them... :)
