I just had to try my hand at a biscornu after seeing so many lovely ones. It was alot of fun. I'm not sure my corners are as good as they should be, but I'll enjoy using it. I hope I put enough stuffing in. Thanks to everyone for the inspiration.

This is lovely but I don't know what a biscornu is. I love the blue flowers and speaking of flowers here is one for you.

Biscornu is a French adjective that means "that which has an irregular form, with projections" or "complicated and bizarre." They are usually 8 sided, but I have seen more sides, pincushions. My first one was a pillow a friends father made for me in 1983.

This is really pretty Patsy love the colour combination. Love Chris
P.S. If you want your corners more pointy just put more stuffing in and use the end of your tweezers to push the point out sharply. Ask me how I know???

You don't know how happy this makes me feel to see that someone else has made one of these. I thought this idea had past the interesting stage. Love the colours. Martine should also be pleased you have made use of her design. Lyn

I wasn't going to say, but as others are giving you hints, may I say that I would have put a little more wadding in it to make it tight and also do as Chris has suggested. Lyn
Thanks! I will try that.
