I followed a wonderfully written tutorial by Amy at During Quiet Time. I was able to use some of my scraps for the log cabin pockets (always a good thing since my scrap basket is constantly overflowing).
The adorable owl fabric is called Spotted Owl by Alexander Henry and the long base for the whole pincushion and pockets is Essex Linen in natural.
Now I'm ready for some serious hand stitching while watching TV. Not bad, if I say so myself.
I also realized that I can use it by my sewing machine, too. See?
And, speaking of my sewing machine, I did get a new Juki about two weeks ago. Yay!!!! It was time and she is just amazing. Strong, fast, a real workhorse, yet way quieter than my previous machine was. She now lives in my "happy corner" which has become so much happier since she has arrived.
Hope you all have a wonderful rest of the weekend, friends. Svetlana
Great job on that project.There is nothing like being able to mare things of your to do list and enjoy the accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteGreat project, thanks for sharing the link! I love your sewing space too
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and awesome small project!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! I think I need to make one too since I love to stitch while watching movies, and I always feel like my supplies end up getting lost between the couch cushions. I like your happy corner too. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your interpretation of the pincushion! What sweet owl fabric you used too :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent! It looks great, & so handy!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - both the pincushion and the new machine!
ReplyDeleteLove the scrappiness of the pincushion (although not sure I could 'voodoo' that owl ;o) ) Have fun with the new toy!
ReplyDeleteHooray for new sewing machines! And I love your scrappy armrest pin cushion. I've been meaning to make something like that!
ReplyDeleteDarling!! Love those log cabins...so cheerful. I need to make one of these!
ReplyDeleteThat is so gorgeous. I love the fabrics you use. Thank you for sharing. Your 'happy corner' looks really, really, happy.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Juki! I adore mine....
ReplyDeleteWhat a great pincushion! Congrats on the Juki - I have a friend with one and she LOVES it :)
ReplyDeleteLove the pincushion .... at the moment I just stick pins & needles in the arm of the chair! :)
ReplyDeleteLove this - I need to make one for myself!
ReplyDeleteHow could you resist sewing on the sofa with this to help! Though I might just look at it rather than do anything!
ReplyDeleteVery cute pin cushion, Svetlana! And I love your happy corner, it would make me smile, too. And it makes me grin seeing your Juki set up there.....can't wait for mine to arrive! Was so nice seeing you this weekend :)
ReplyDeleteI love it. It's beautiful and cheerful. I think I have to make one for myself, too. Before seeing the picture of your happy corner I thought that it may work for being at my sewing space, too. Two persons, one idea :)
ReplyDeleteplease, tell me about your juki. i have been trying to decide between a juki and a janome horizon and i can't decide. i really want both! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of Juki do you have? I know I've asked before (sorry!). Is it the tl 2010?
