New Product Development




I'm designing a pincushion! A kind person on Etsy remarked that she loved my nest pin but wondered could it be made into a pincushion? I loved the idea so I started product development. I made it entirely from wool, the top is one of my nest circles. The pincushion is light but nicely firm. The lanolin in the wool will keep needles and pins from rusting. What made me smile was, once I'd made a few, I realized I really needed a pincushion on my work table, who knew? I have been really enjoying making them and using them. Keep an eye on my Etsy shop for this new item coming soon!

  8. These are so beautiful! I thought my favorite pincushion would always be the classic tomato... I have some serious decisions to make.

    (Also, the one shown matches my orange sewing machine as well as the lovely, sweet nest bobby pin I bought from you at the Folk Festival.)
