I saw the Mega Pinnie pattern in an older issue (issue 6, 2016) of Today’s Quilter. It caught my attention, partially, because I have some squares leftover from the Jen Carlton Bailly workshop<\/a> and they were on my mind. It turns out they are slightly larger than I need for the Pinnie, but worked just fine. I was also looking for something that would be interesting for a swap gift.<\/p>\n

I like this magazine as it has practical and interesting articles that teach people something. I have found good projects, like my favorite pincushion<\/a>, in Today’s Quilter sister publication, Love of Patchwork and Quilting, but this is the first time I have made something from TQ.<\/p>\n

This pattern caught my attention as something different, but also useful. I decided to make it as a swap gift. It is essentially a giant pincushion with pockets for other tools. It will work well for someone who wants to keep a few things together at Sew Day.<\/p>\n

While I am not quite finished, the project doesn’t take very long to make. I am almost done after working on it Sunday in between other projects. One of the sites<\/a> I found said it took her two hours. I didn’t keep exact track of my hours, but this sounds about right.<\/p>\n

In the pattern, the pockets are pieced. They look kind of fun pieced, but I also want to try them not pieced. The project will go faster and will be just as interesting. I also think I can add a placket for WonderClips, as in the pincushion that I have made as gifts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I found a version<\/a> of the pattern at the Stitch Gathering website.<\/p>\n

I am ridiculously delighted by this concept. I want make a couple more as gifts and I can’t wait to sew this one together!<\/p>\n
