Tutorial: A sweet felt pincushion

This is such a quick & easy project that's perfect for the weekend (a long one if you're in Victoria!)

 You will need:

• felt, buttons, filling - I only use Eco-Toy Fill by Innergreen, thread & Needle, a round shape to cut your pieces

• Trace your shape
• Cut x 2
• Arrange & sew on your buttons

• Take a very long piece of thread, double over & knot.
• Place knot in the centre of two pieces and needle through to the top felt piece.

• Start you blanket stitch.
• Needle through both pieces of felt
• Bringing your needle through the middle of the loop that has formed
• Pull tight

• Continue with blanket stitch until you are left with a small gap.
• Stuff with your filling until it is firm and plump.
• Until stitching until the gap is closed.
• Tie off your threads.
