Stick A Pin In It


Tomato Pin Cushions




I tried the tops in different felt colors. I ended up liking the green ones the best. So you'll see a few with pink, red and various other colors for the little leaf top. Whatever makes you happy 





Again with the Martha Stewart, I know. But I came across these years ago on her site and I just thought it was brilliant. I ended up tweeking the pattern a little for my own personal taste. And I found the round pattern to be the easiest. You be the judge. tomato pin cushion tutorial

I have a problem with deciding which color schemes I like best sometimes. I can certainly appreciate the fun pinks and reds and the cool blues and greens. But I find myself gravitating towards the natural whites and cremes the most. But that didn't stop me from making every combination I could get my hands on. A lot of thrift fabric was used. Along with old tunics and moomoo's. This is a great project to get rid of the scrap fabric you've been hoarding. We all do it. 

What do y'all think? Which one's are your favorites?

  2. You're very sweet. Thank you! I'll have to send you some:) But you should still make some too. They're fun. I love the small ones, they're great for little projects I do while watching tv or a movie at night.
