At last I've completed the final three Ice Cream Sundae pincushions! It took some time, but they will be going to their new homes soon. Making these cute sewing tools began with one I made as a donation for our guild's quilt show. You can see that one in this post.
With just fabric scraps, embroidery floss, beads, fiber-fil, and an ice cream dish the pincushions are a fairly simple project to stitch. I'll be happy to send them on their way and put away the supplies at last. They've been "watching" me from the beading corner of the sewing room, waiting for completion.
A handful of glass marbles add some sparkle in the dish and a bit of weight to keep the pincushion balanced. They are actually quite fun to make as I always enjoy picking out fabric scraps and matching beads. You can see the other two in this post.
