A New Creation To Share....

I recently mailed these off for a swap over at Your Paper Pantry. The theme for the "Sew Crafty" group was to make a pincushion from a teacup. Actually, we had to make two and we'll get two different ones back. I used these vintage teacups from my own (very small) collection. I added a Prima rose to the top of the handle and added a faux pearl flourish, some buttons and a stickpin (another requirement). To spruce it up a bit more and give it a more 'shabby chic' look, I added fringe around the rim as well as a paper rose with a velveteen ribbon leaf and another button on the saucer. These would make cute gifts for the seamstress in your life.

Thanks for looking!
