I used jute webbing - weaving it and stitching it on one side, with a bit of lettering embellishment - all on the machine. Then, on the reverse side, I used some fusible interfacing to join two strips together before stitching them (and a bit more embellishment!) ...
I'm really happy with the result. It combines a few of my favourite things - texture, typography, red and natural colours. I really hope my swap partner likes it too! Check out what's going on in other creative spaces around the neighbourhood and around the globe by visiting Kootoyoo!

Clever design - it looks really fabulous!
very cute
Every pincushion that I see appearing in blog land at the moment is very cool, this one included! I'm trying to work out if there's any chance a few of them might be on their way to me (rational answer is no, obviously)!! Oh well, I can always pretend.... ;-)
LOVE it x
It's gorgeous Nic.
I'm sure the person receiving it will be thrilled.
Ya, I like it too. 's very Yardage Design imo. :)
Gorgeousness, I like the writing you've done on it (with your super-dooper fancy embroidery machine, I guess!)
It looks great! I love the idea of using jute webbing for making pincushion! Was it had to sew together? I find it a bit tricky to work with the jute.
Ummmm.... AWESOME!
Mind you, I DO hate you & your pincushiony-swap friends for rubbing in the fact that I missed out on joining in with some fabulous fun! ;)
This is gorgeous!
Gorgeous - love the words on there!!
Ooh love it!
Well done. Gorgeous pin cushion!
Great pin cushion. With the work "pins" too, just to make sure. Gives me a little giggle.
Lovely work Nic!
As my Lucy would say, OMG! Looks ace Nic, very stylish and original - like all your creations xo
You can totally see the love & care you put into it, lucky swap partner you have!! Love Posie
Oh, it's SO cool! I love red, too, and I like the unusual texture/material choice. The stitching is just right, love the choices you made and the lettering. Lucky swap partner!
Love it, just gorgeous!
I love the rawness and texture!! The red too...I haven't seen a cushion I don't like actually!!
xo Steph
