We made these hand pieced hexagon shaped pincushions a few weeks ago at Brown Owls. They are a great way to use up scraps or tiny samples of favourite fabrics. Not surprisingly, I've used vintage pillowcase fabric for this.
The original project came from a vintage children's craft book, "How to make and do 100 new things". If you ever spot a copy in an Op Shop or second hand bookshop buy it - it's pure gold!
Tutorial as a slide show (best viewed at full screen via my Slideshare). You can just click & stitch, click & stitch.
It's been a while since I've used powerpoint & I can tell you there was much swearing. But I think well worth the effort in the end.

Thank you to my crafty kick in the pants. You're ace!
See all my click & stitch make a pincushion projects.

Thank you thank you THANK YOU! I have been eyeing off a few of these by people who were there and made them, now I only need to find some time to make one for myself! I guess that's why brown owls is so good, it forces me to do a bit of 'just for me' craft!
Well look at that! How fantastic! You are a great girl to share this with us all again!
Excellent... so glad to have this tute, as I missed that night at Brown Owls.
I love the selection of vintage pillowcase fabrics that you used on this one.....just gorgeous!
This was such a great hand stitching project because it was something that can be finished in an afternoon...or evening!
Very clear and easy tutorial to follow for such a cute pincushion-thanks for sharing. I love your fabric choices.
LOL...probably the last thing in the world I'd do is make a pincushion, but as always there's something for everyone in a post.
I think that's a great tutorial, and am glad to see the slide share location for PPT. Tres cool.
Very neat - thanks for sharing! I want one now!
I just love this project cause I can take it with me outside. Love the fabric coordination. Not that I need another one but I always seem to loose mine somewhere. Some coooool project this is.
