Pincushion, embroidered pin cushion, keepsake gift for the sewing room

A Beautiful large hand embroidered pin cushion, a unique keepsake gift for someone who loves to sew or craft or just an ornamental piece for someone who loves hand embroidery. This is a large 3.75" diameter pincushion. Handmade from natural silk noil fabric with a cotton fabric backing and sitting in a wooden bowl, this pin cushion is made up from 3 pieces of fabric to give it strength and longevity even when using large needlfelting or similar needles in it. Using my own design worked freehand I have created a little floral scene over one half of the pincushion top, hand stitched in a soft colour palette of peaches, salmon, green, naturals and rust. Once I had embroidered my design I made a cotton fabric form, shaped to a round, it's stuffed extremely tight so the pins won't disappear into the stuffing, it takes a few hours to assemble the pincushion to ensure there is as little creasing as possible. The embroidered top is fitted over the form, pulling the fabric taught and stitching it over and over until it is the correct size for the bowl. Once it is shaped to fit it is glued into place in the wooden bowl. Finished with crochet cotton natural lace trim around the rim and a rolled satin ribbon in beige-mushroom My pincushions are made to last, they make beautiful keepsake gifts for someone who likes to sew or craft, I have made many over the years all with excellent reviews. It will be carefully wrapped and posted by Royal Mail Tracked 48 parcel post.
