After seeing all the great Pin Cushions made this year I thought I may try to make one for myself. I liked the one sent to jgwatchorn by her SS. Hope you like it as much as I do. Thanks for looking Marian

What a great idea. Love it.

What a lovely looking teacup and saucer pincushion. Great job, love Chris

Very nice, Marian!

Lovely but her face is too pretty to stick pins in it. LOL

Lovely, everyone had such great ideas in the pin cushion swap.

WOW!!!! What a beautiful pincushion you are made is very nice

You have done a great job with this special pin cushion for yourself.. Sandra.

Just beautiful. You have done a lovely job/Lillian

Really cute, where did the design come from?

very nice !

I laughed when I saw your teacup! It is really unexpected, but makes perfect sense to me to have a face in a cup looking back at you.

Really cute. I know this will be a good thing to have at your sewing table.
Keep up the good work. :)

This is so darling. Never seen in a teacup before. Love it.

I love my pin cushion too!! it will never tip over and the saucer holds things in use. Buttons, thimble,etc.Just hope the SS who created mine see this one. Janette

Oh how cute. Hugs

A wonderful gift to self--love seeing this--I have many cups and saucers collected for crafting and this is sweet.

Hi Carolyn, you basically make a design which will fit inside the cup - a circular design would be best. Then stuff the cup with wadding, batting, steel wool, walnut shells etc. whatever medium you want to use and then glue the design to the cup and place some cording or other lace edging etc. to finish it off. Love Chris
