Community Cast Video Day 69
Today’s video shows how to make a simple pincushion with a patriotic twist.
I notice views have dropped notably. I hope this means people have found things to do and things are going okay. I do know I’ve struggled with content the last couple weeks as I’ve become emotionally and creatively drained. I do want to continue this series and maybe transition into a summer series. But, I need to know what kinds of content you want. Do you want:
- More show’n’tell
- More unboxings
- A series of pincushions
- A series of pen-wipers
- A series of doll items
- More random chat and stories
- Other things?
Please let me know what you want to see in the comments below.

Today’s video includes new cdv arrivals.
Here is the tintype with the beaded net. The beads are faintly visible. I am very glad I spotted them while browsing.
Here the beads on the net are more visible with that little phone microscope. I do wish the lens covered a little more space to give a bigger field of view.
Here are a couple other close ups of the same image.
This is the second image that has many accessories.

The third image seems to have been lost during upload… Trying again….

Today’s video goes a little awry. The plan is to make a cute, patriotic trinket basket….
Here is the template for the trinket basket:
As I mention in the second video, I found holding the sides at an angle made it easier to hold the pieces in place while sewing.
Here is the final piece in place, held by Wonder Clips. I tucked the blue fabric over the pasteboard and the red in behind it. I used an overcast stitch to close the opening snuggly over the pasteboard.
Here is my finished Trinket Basket:
A little something extra today – Hop over the Genesee Country Village’s YouTube Channel for A look inside the Altay Store at GCVM.
