A few times in the past I made plans to list items once a week on this blog. Some times it happened, some times it didn't, and then finally I forgot about it.
My son and I were talking about it again this week and I was trying to come up with a catchy name. He suggested Whimsy Wednesday... and I love it! So... I am going to do my best to have something handmade to list each Wednesday (in addition to items in my Etsy shops or on my shop blog).
This week I have several small triangle pincushions for you that are based on a couple of antique pincushions I have in my collection.
Each pincushion is made from mostly antique and vintage fabrics, some of which I purchased directly from a dealer in France. In the photo below they are freshly laundered, waiting to be pressed...
I've listed the Triangle Pincushions below. Each one has been completely hand-stitched and embellished with feather-stitching.
When ordering, please choose by number of the item(s).
$15 each plus 1st class shipping (priority mail if several are purchased).
I accept PayPal, check, or money order.
Email me to ask questions or to purchase.
