Show & Tell - Stick a Needle in Your Eye


Look what Cheryl (the one who brought us the Spock/Bailey Bear) made with the Dimples pincushion pattern!

When I was working on the pattern we chatted about a name for it over on Facebook. Someone mentioned that it looked like a eyeball and Cheryl totally ran with the idea. Here's what she says. . .
I back stitched the lines in the eyes.  The brown is hand stitched felt.  
I was in a silly mood today.  =)  Thanks for endless inspiration!  =)
I'm showing this to the kids at Sewing Camp today. Awesome! And eeeeewwwww. :-)

Want to make your own pincushion - eyeball version or otherwise? The pattern is free and you can find it here.

Happy sewing!

Best,
Wendi

  2. It just makes me shiver to think I should stick a needle in an eyeball shaped pin cushion!

  3. Tee hee. It was actually a silly brain storming session in the comments, after the pattern was published, that spawned the eyeball idea. lol. It just tickled my macabre funny bone. And I know this is going to sound insane but I love how it feels when I put the pins in it. I mean not because it's an eyeball lol, but there is something about the muslin I used, and the stuffing...it seriously ended up strangely excellent from a strictly tactile perspective. lol. Yes...I know...there is likely something VERY wrong with me lol.
