I Love Handmade Pincushion's

Just wanted to share my love of handmade Pincushions. I have made lots of them lately to sell at my first craft market that was held in Wallacia, NSW, Australia.
These pincushion's could also be used as decorations, being displayed in a bowl or on a shelf or table.

Although the market was not a great success because it wasn't advertised very well, it was an experience to learn from and I learnt a lot.

My daughter-in-law and I will certainly be attending another market soon.

Hexagon shape Pincushion & Needle Case

My tip for stuffing pincushion's or other projects such as soft toys, dolls and bears would be not to try and place too much stuffing in at once. Be patient and use small pieces of 'fiber fill' as this will allow you to create a nice, non lumpy shape that you will be proud of.
