Today’s video some chat and a look at inspiration pincushions.
The design for the flag pincushion in Berlin work I showed is here as a pdf.
Here is the pinwheel-esque pincushion progress.
I realized when I got the pieces together, that this could make an awesome patchwork quilt. A bunch of fun spinny stripes? I am also seeing Christmas ornament potential… And stuffed Christmas trees.
Today we make the heart pincushion from An American Girl’s Book.

*Note: The channel I am watching Belgravia on is only free until April 19th. It looks like I will just get 2 episodes.
**Note: I mentioned starting a Facebook album for projects. After the video, it occured to me people may prefer a FB group. What are your thoughts?
Happy Easter to all who celebrate.
Today we make the pin pocket I shared yesterday.
A guide to the feather stitch is here.
Additional photos to come as I finish….
Today’s video introduces a pin pocket project.
Post video note: In the video I said I would use batting. After cutting all the pieces, I decided this would be too bulky for my fulled wool. My new recommendation is to Not us batting with medium weight or fulled wool. Batting may be desired with tropical weight wool.
Materials to gather:
*You can adjust measurements to suit your needs and fabric. Remember to adjust the size of all layers and the length of the ribbon.
Today’s video is mostly chat covering one of Clara’s favorite things, two things I use for my hands and wrists, tips on how to shrink my ballon style bag to doll size, and an introduction to Don’t Paint the Cat, one of my other blogs.
Wow. This wraps up 4 weeks of videos. These four weeks are bit of a fog for me. (I just deleted a bunch of sad reality stuff.)
I’ve been keeping a log of what I’ve made:
I’ve decided I want to do a gallery of projects from viewers. If you’ve made one of the projects from the videos, I would love to show them off.
Today’s video shows how to make a spool holder.
Original spool holders of this style:
Today’s video is a little short. I feel off today. There are also a couple pauses for the noise outside. And then the bag of fabric isn’t the right bag. Watch with gentle humor.
