Pumpkin Pin Cushion
By Benjamin Krudwig
I am not much of a sewing fanatic, but I do like having pins around when I do sew. I also love the Fall season, so I decided to make my sewing more festive by making a pumpkin pin cushion! This project takes a total of 5 squares, some fiber-fil, and a hint of crochet.
What You'll Need
-
sportweight or DK yarn for 4 orange Zoom Loom squares and 1 green square (8 yards per square)
-
fiber-fil or other stuffing material
-
Zoom Loom
-
crochet hook suitable for yarn
Directions
Weave 4 orange squares and 1 green square.
- Sew the 4 orange squares into one larger square. Gather threads in each corner and cinch up into a pouch shape. Stuff this shape with some fiber-fil and tie the opening shut.
With the green square, follow the instructions found here for making a leaf.
- Attach the leaf to the top of the pumpkin by slip-stitching with some green yarn. Chain stitch 10 stitches, then single crochet 2 in each chain stitch. Bind off and weave in any ends.
Wash your pumpkin to full. Use it as a pin cushion or make a few for some Fall decorations.
