Pincushions, poppets, and pinnies galore—secure your sewing pins like never before! In DIY Pincushions, Beanbags, Paperweights, & Softies, beginners and sewing masters alike will create an array of stylish pincushions in a few easy steps—many of which can be done in just one afternoon! They're not only practical little sewing helpers when finished, but they're also teaching tools for those wanting to build their sewing and quilting skills. All 20 projects are made with approachable techniques, like pieced quilt blocks that are embellished with decorative appliqué, stitching, buttons, blocked corners, twisted pleats, pockets, and more. Some are shaped like traditional squares, rectangles, and round pillows, while others are shaped like frogs, sailboats, houses, roosters, and blooming flowers that can double as miniature stuffed softies, paperweights, or even bean bags! Each project includes step-by-step instructions and photos to help guide you through the simple process of creating adorable pincushions. Author SusanClaire Mayfield encourages you to use scraps from your fabric stash and be creative with your choices! No matter what you choose, the result is a functional, unique pincushion you'll use in your workshop for years to come.
