Vintage Pin Cushion

To do a simple pincushion:
I cut a circle of fabric, about twice as big as the 'thing'
I am using as a base.
Gather around edge of circle with a running stitch,
about 1/4" from outside edge.
pull almost tight.
Stuff with fiberfill, then pull rest of the way closed and knot.
Kind of shape it into an even little ball.
(need pics of the steps?
Let me know and I will do a little tutorial for you.)

 
use fabric tack glue to glue pin cushion on to base.
My 'base' was part of an old lamp. Fun huh??
You can really use just about anything for a pin cushion base.
The more unique the better, in my book.=)

Add a little pair of scissors,

and you are ready to go!!

I'm joining these two parties.
