pincushion

I had fun making a bunch of these pin cushions from scraps of vintage sheets.  I have a whole crate full of vintage sheet scraps!  I made this “movie” using the website gifmaker.me.  Making the Gif was really cool.  I set up my camera on a tripod and then just added things to the photo.  Cool!

I am hopping to add these to my old gingercake shop that had the vintage sheets and vintage finds I used to love.  I still love vintage! I just felt I had to focus more on sewing and less on traveling to thrift store with 4 kids and accumilating a bunch of stuff I didn’t need.  You understand, right?
