Ceinture obi | Accessoires. Ceinture | Accessoires. 1-UP mushroom pincushion/plush. An Easy to Make Pin Cushion. Here is the tomato pin cushion that I made It's very simple to make, so today, I'll show you how. Because we're all about recycling here, I'm using this old t-shirt. But go ahead and use fabric scraps.

Cut a rectangle (this one's 7 " x 5") out of the fabric, fold it in half & sew the ends together. Sew a running stitch on one end & pull the thread to "seal" the bottom. Knot the thread. Turn the fabric inside out. Add stuffing. Close the top with running stitch. Pull the thread & knot the end. To make the tomato "ribs", pass a threaded needle at the "core" to the outside. Make the "crown" from green felt & stitch this to the top of the tomato. TADA! I made a few extras. My Aunt Cora who loves to embroider. And for a friend who doesn't sew but loves gardening (I added a packet of tomato seeds).

Summer is tomato season...I hope you can "harvest" your own tomato pin cushions! Besace pop - Magazine Avantages 10 60 135.
