\"Mega<\/a>
Mega Pinnie with baby pincushion<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As mentioned, I had to make a swap gift<\/a> for the Winter Extravaganza Palooza at the guild. In that previous post, I talked about the pattern. Since then I have been contemplating WHY I chose what is, basically, a giant pincushion.<\/p>\n

Short answer: I don’t know.<\/p>\n

Long answer: it is kind of a strange gift, but it is useful. It reminds me of the cube<\/a> I made for the YM. It is also different from other things I have seen. The pockets can hold scissors and seam rippers, etc. I photocopied a variety of tools and put them in the pockets to show how the pockets can be used.<\/p>\n

\"Mega<\/a>

The baby pincushion (Mini Pinnie) can be removed from the Mega Pinnie and used away from its giant mom. There is also a piece of felt designed to hold needles.<\/p>\n

The top has a handle, which can be used to hold the full Mega Pinnie.<\/p>\n

As I usually do, I filled the piece with some Beanie Baby pellets as well as stuffing. I didn’t use wool roving on this one; I used poly-fil because I needed so much of it. I hope I put enough of the Beanie Baby pellets in the square to keep it anchored. I know I could have put more in it.<\/p>\n

I still want to make more of these!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
