Oh I know! I'm late, I'm late! Not too late just a little bit late but this was supposed to be in the post on Friday. I'm sorry Kate. I'm sorry secret swapsies person. It will be in the post tomorrow, I promise. I swear upon the crochet goddess...
So this is my pin cushion for Kate's pin cushion swap! It's a jar pin cushion pattern that I'd seen on the net a few times. I decided to use this tutorial. It was really easy to follow.
I really like the idea of being able to store pins in the bottom as well as having a cool pin cushion space on top. I couldn't resist decorating it with a bit of crochet. I also couldn't resist choosing bright contrasting colours either... and I couldn't resist filling it with a few additional goodies either.
It's kind of like a pin-cushion sewing kit all in one. I'm really pleased with the way it turned out and are hoping my secret swapsies person likes it as much as I do.
For more amazing pin cushions, check out the contributions on this flickr page. I think you'll agree it's been a fun and fantastic swap. That's probably because it was organised by a fun, fantastic and creative person by the name of Kate...

That pin cushion will be well worth the wait. Lovely.
...and yes awesome that it also serves as a storage solution. Perhaps we'll be seeking them in ikea soon ;0
LOVE IT! Love it so much! What craftsperson doesn't need a bit of an innovative storage solution?! Thanks so much for the lovely words, thanks for playing and thanks for being a fun and fabulous swapper! I hope you love the one you get in the mail too. XX
I love this Melanie! I'm very interested in blatantly copying you and making one for myself. May I ask where you found the jar?
Very cool. I love the storage underneath, and I especially love the addition of the crochet. Makes it extra personal!
