More pincushions...

Another triangle pincushion. I like how this pattern turned out. I like it better than the circle. Circles are hard to get so they actually look round. The dark jean material is the same fabric as my mom's garden tote, as noted here.

Corrie's Circle Pincushion

So this is for Corrie. For those keeping track (Corrie), it does match the garden tote I made for her. Corrie gave me some dried lavendar many moons ago and I stuffed this with some of it. I promised her a pincushion if she gave me some lavendar. I never said WHEN, though! LOL

Jane's Garden Tote

We don't exchange gifts like we used to. It's getting harder to know what someone might want anyway. So I decided to make my aunt a garden tote. We both like orange. I think this looks great! The outside pockets are furniture fabric samples and the handle is a thrift store belt! So chic!

Mother's Day Hat

Free pattern Robin's Egg Blue Hat. Made from recycled yarn. Mom requested a hat. The brim is 4 rows shorter than the pattern. Not on purpose but I like how it looks better. This makes the brim flap on the other side of the hat from the pattern.
