I just love trying new techniques for finishing :)

Today's experiment was a pincushion/pinkeep/snip pocket (or it can hold your scissors or fibers or other small stitching accessories). I love how it turned out and will definitely be making more of these :) I made a booboo though and forgot to add the ribbon to the pocket before I put the base(pinkeep)together. It should have been sewn inside the pocket and the lining of the pocket, so I had to improvise! :) It is made to hang over the edge of your stitching table/chair.
[Edited to answer Kayona: The pincushion (stitched design) is weighted)


Thank you all for your comments on my first mattress pincushion. I appreciate them so much :) It was another of my learning experiences and I learned what I would like to do differently next time :)

Someone asked about how I attach my ribbon/cording. YES, I always attach it to the finished piece. I have used both methods of sewing the trim on and gluing the trim on (I suggest to anyone using glue to NEVER use hot glue! it makes a mess and will damage your fabric over the years)-it really depends on the piece I am doing and if I feel I can hide the stitches well enough to sew the trim on then I sew it on...if not I use a fabric/acid free glue.

Thanks so much for visiting with me :) I appreciate your time and comments so very much :)
