Inspired by the frenetic start to The Great British Sewing Bee. On the sewing table, on the introduction to the show, is a pincushion. Made from felt, which is modeled on the The British flag, The Union Jack.
So mine is a Maple Leaf, celebrating Canada.
The top.
The Pieces required to make the pincushion.
Applique the red Maple leaf on the white felt.
The back, it was stitched in place with a straight stitch.
Next pin the two red strips of felt in place .
The red strips stitched in place.
Stitching the rectangles around the rectangle, to create a box shape.
For this I did not use a pattern. This is a first attempt, without a pattern.
Leave a gap, to turn the it inside out. This is the hole which will be used to stuff the pincushion.
The finished pincushion.
