I've had these pincushions all stitched up for a few months now, just waiting to be dressed up and this week I was ready!
I used tea-stained fabric from my stash, glittered, and feathered wings on these first two pincushions, Olive Suede leaves from Freckled Fawn, Maya Road Organza Tea Garden Rose Trim and trinket pins, and scrunched seam binding from My Craft Spot.
Many of the same products used here on this pincushion with the addition of die cut Silver Glitter Tape from Freckled Fawn and Maya Road Khaki Pleated Trim.
The Silver Glitter Tape was run through my die cut machine using Papertrey Ink's Heart Border Die.
Now for the gypsies...
This first uses Red Lace Tape from Freckled Fawn, millinery flowers, vintage raspberry beads, trim, crystals, a die cut flower using assorted dies from Papertrey Ink and an old cotton shirt of mine...I love how the edges curl and ruffle when die cutting cotton.
Maya Road Slushie Blue Pleated Tulle Trim was also used.
Another ruffled die cut cotton flower used here along with Melissa Frances Organza Pouf Cream Ribbon, Maya Road Trinket pins, and Raspberry Bead.
I used Freckled Fawn Pink Scallop Trim Lace Tape and Pink Glitter Tape.
One last pincushion used much of the same...when ya love it, use it, huh?
Thanks so much for visiting!

would you describe how you scrunch seam binding to make it look like a flower? I've tried and it doesn't turn out. Thank you. I LOVE your blog and the beautiful things you make.

What a well-researched article — thanks for putting in the time to look into the back-stories of all these famous brands. I had no idea the Twitter bird came from iStockPhoto, of all places!

Wide range of colors and patterns and a high level of consistency because it is manmade.
