The Long Thread wrist pincushion Pattern Description
Simple to sew, it’s made from one fabric scrap, some filling and velcro. Easy! Which view and size did you make?
n/a Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes If not, why?
- Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes If not, why?
- What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
The pincushion ended up way too big for my wrist. I cut about 3 inches off each side. Also, the opening you leave to turn the fabric through is the same size as your stuffed area. This makes it a little difficult to stuff properly and sew shut neatly. Fabric used
repurposed pillow case Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend
I would use a sturdier fabric. I think I would prefer a pin cushion that is sewn on to the wrist band separately. I wanted to add a layer of plastic or cardboard to protect my wrist from the pins but this wasn't possible with this type of construction. Would you sew this pattern again?
No Would you recommend this pattern to others?
No Any additional comments
