Sewing Tutorial: Turtle Pincushion {With Pattern}
As written here a few weeks ago that I have a new plan for Greeny & Pinky – the turtle pincushion pattern, I keep my promise and make good of it…..
***drum roll**** Please welcome….. COMBO Turtle Pincushion with Sewing Kit There are compartments to keep scissor, thread and some sewing needles in a proper place [Click "Next" on the photo browser above, picture 5 shows the compartments, or you can scroll down to see the step by step photos below]. It even has a pair of needle finding flippers. This combo version is doubled the size of the original, but all you need to do is just enlarge the pattern to 200%. Previously, I gave out the Greeny & Pinky turtle pincushion pattern upon request.
In this tutorial, there are 2 versions of turtle pincushions you can make: To make a smaller felted body version of Greeny & Pinky, use the written instruction below.To make the Combo version as shown on the pictures above, use the step by step photos after the written instructions.

Add a burst of color to your room with this crafty pouf!
At 17” wide and 10” deep, it’s large enough to serve as floor seating or a foot stool. (And if you have pets, I have a feeling they may want to make this their new favorite spot!) This project is a little challenging to sew, but it’s not too difficult, so if you’re comfortable with the basics of sewing, give it a try. You can make a colorwheel effect with a range of solid colors, or choose a variety of patterned fabrics for a louder patchwork effect. Medium-weight cottons work well for this design (check out quilting shops for great selections of solids and prints).
I love the idea of making a set of these poufs in a range of sizes, for a sculptural stack of cushions that will become a room element in their own right.

As mentioned in a previous post, I’m in the middle of making some gifts for family and god-children.
One of the gifts to be given to my younger godchildren will be a Notebook-&-Pencil holder. Here is a completed holder: And the holder opened up: This is quite a straight-forward gift to make and I thought I’d provide a tutorial on how I went about putting this one together. Please note that I am no sewing expert :-) so please excuse my rather barbaric methods and lack of proper sewing vocabulary :-) Please also note that this is an image-heavy post, so allow a few minutes for all the images to load up.
This holder has been made to comfortably fit an A5-sized 100-page notebook.
