New Emery Pincushion

These are always popular at markets. The fucshia pink pillow is firmly stuffed with emery sand. The emery is a very abrasive sand that sharpens your pins and needles as you put them in.

I must make more!

First creation from Jo's wool felt

I had a chance this week to follow my creative motto and use some of the felt given to me by Jo of Rubyjo on etsy.

This one is a mini bottlecap pincushion that also has a little pouch of emery sand inside to keep your pins and needles sharp.  I really need to make more of these.  Every sewer needs one and they always sell out at markets. 

So there you have it - Thanks Jo - the first of many to come from the lovely stash of felt.
