Les épingles et les aiguilles étant faciles à perdre, c'est une bonne idée d'utiliser un pique-épingles. Surtout si vous avez besoin d'une épingle rapidement, et que vous n'avez qu'une main pour la saisir !

Since pins and needles are easy to lose, keeping them stuck in a pincushion is a helpful idea, especially when you need one fast and have only one hand to retrieve it!

Les pique-épingles prennent toutes les formes et sont amusants à faire. Et en plus c'est un bon moyen pour utiliser les chutes de tissus :

It never occurred to me that pin cushions could be little works of art - I particularly like the book one.

Every thing is an excuse to play with fabric scraps, and pincushions are just the perfect size to make them between to projects, just for fun ;)
SupprimerThe pin cushions are so artistic and beautiful. They are not just functional but a work of art.

Some of those cushions are very creative! I love the idea :) I almost want to have enough pins to need a cushion...

Even if you do not have pins you can make one ;))
SupprimerI think the fruit ones higher up are my favourite. However then I could not decide. The book is creative.
RépondreSupprimerWhen I was growing up, everybody had the tomato pin cushion. Your other examples are so cute, much nicer than a tomato. My only pin cushion was a gift from my 5th grade teacher. She had traveled to Europe and brought back a sweet embroidered pin cushion from Switzerland, I believe, for every girl in the class. Boys got bookmarks that were made in the same design.
RépondreSupprimerSweet gifts!
SupprimerOh! I LOVE the book pin cushion! What you see mostly in the States is the tomato one...
RépondreSupprimerThe tomato pincushion is sold in every country I guess, as we have them in France too! And you hardly will find another type in a store. Strange.
SupprimerHaving a pin cushion is something I could use. They look nice and it's a good way to keep your needles organized and accessible. Great idea! Jackie's Bookbytes Letter P
RépondreSupprimerFind beautiful pins, with GoT symbols, and your pincushion will be an art piece, very decorating ;)
SupprimerIt's amazing the different types of pincushions that now exist.
RépondreSupprimerEverything can be a pincushion, as long as a pin can stay inside! Some are inside empty toys, tea cup, flower pot (usually it's a cactus pincushion), and so much more!
RépondreSupprimerVery pretty collection. Brought back some childhood memories. My mother is an awesome seamstress :)
RépondreSupprimerGreat fun post! How many of these are yours? The round with the little sea urchin on it is one (of many) of may favorites! I use a pin cushion I got at a craft fair at a woman's house many years ago & keep thinking I'd like to make some. You have inspired me to much greater heights!!!
RépondreSupprimerThanks for all the comments on my blog. I hae found it challenging to respond all along the way as I've had custom orders for my storage bins, which is a good thing. We are almost done with the challenge! Well done.
Hi Linda! Only one from this post is mine: the red armchair. But I have a lot in my sewing room ;)
SupprimerYes, this challenge is exhausting!
I can see how walnut shells make a good filler. They would sharpen the needles I'd think? I mean Boeing uses walnut shells to sandblast their airplanes. Love the variety you displayed here :)
