The other day I suddenly realized that I didn't own a pincusion. It's bad enough that I went out and bought the very worst pins in the world when I was in Tel Aviv a few weeks ago (they are so thin and have a tiny head) and I was finding it very difficult to keep track of them when I was doing some repairs on the girls clothes.
So, in my Google-way, I did a search for *how to make a pincushion*... WOW !!
After the results came in, I started gathering up the supplies I needed for the first one. I made a pincushion that was suppose to be worn on my left wrist, but I couldn't thread the sewing needle to sew the elastic strap on it. The pincushion ended up being desktop and cute.
Then I started looking at the different empty glass jars I've been saving for some time and I decided to make a jar-top pincushion next. Well, let me tell you, it's not easy to make something stick to the top of a glass jar. I used every glue-product available until I found the good ol' white plastic glue of my youth. It did the trick !!! Everything stuck to the top of the glass jar.
Now I'm on a quest to make as many pincushions as I can possibly make, for gifts and sale. They are so much fun to make and even more fun to get to the point where I can actually stick pins in them !!
I'll post lots of links to pincushion-making-sites in another blog post.
