Flower Pincushion

I have always had a frustration finding large pin cushions. Everything I find at the store is too small. I don't like running out of pins when I'm making something! So I searched and searched for a good pattern. I found an adorable pattern for a flower pincushion. I absolutely hated the way it went together though. So incredibly difficult. Instead, I made my own design, using their petal pieces. When I was done, I thought, "How cute would this look in a flower pot?" And VOILA! My flower pincushion was born.


I think I might make more of these, big and small, and sell them on etsy.com
What do you think? I was also thinking about adding a second layer of petals on top of the first.

Way, way cute. I think I'd like a second layer of petals.

SO FREAKING ADORABLE!!! You have a gift. I think one layer of petals is fantastic, no need for a second in my opinion. Love it! Definitely sell on etsy! you'll be making big bucks!
