As I was moving things around and putting things away, I ran into some of these ~
As I was getting ready to put them in the trash, I thought, oh what a waste of good fabric. Now, these are the cut off ends from one of my strip quilts that I sewed each strip on a 45 degree angle and then cut off these little Schnibbles.
Then a lightbulb went off and almost blinded me!! I'll make a pincushion out these little pieces. First I sewed all the ones I found together like so ~
I pressed them open ~
Squared them all off ~ Oh, that's a penny sitting amongst my new blocks!! :-))
Started sewing them together!
Ended up with this little cutie~
And then finally after about two hours after getting ready to throw these valuable pieces of fabric away, just in time for bed mind you, I ended up with a cute new pincushion for my pincushion collection!!
And of course, I had to make a cute back too!!
And darn, now the straightening up will just have to wait until Monday!!
'Night all, and have a wonderful Sunday!!
Yes, it does! Just so ya know. : )
ReplyDeleteBTW, what a cute pincushion!
And there ya go - I do them all up right after they are trimmed and store them in size containers - then I have all those lovely little pieces ready for a project rather than having to cut down a large piece of fabric.
ReplyDeleteCute as can be! A wonderful addiction!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteI love those little corner triangles...so much fun to use for small projects. Hmmm...might be time to make another pincushion.
ReplyDeleteI force myself to throw that size away otherwise I would be buried under lots and lots of fabric. Does look good though!
