Pincushion, hand embroidered cupcake style pin cushion in pinks by Bearlescent

A unique hand embroidered cupcake style pin cushion created and designed by Bearlescent This hand embroidered pincushion measures approx 3.75" diameter. It has been hand sewn onto natural silk noil in pinks, varying shades from very pale to deeper pinks with green stems, embroidered around the edge of the pincushion top with plenty of free space in the centre for pins pamd needles and strong enough to take barbed needlefelting needles. Filled very firmly with super polyester filling, a cotton form was made to fit the bowl, once the correct size and firmness was achieved the embroidered silk piece complete with a cotton backing was laced over the form as tightly as possible to minimise creasing around the gathered fabric. The assembly process takes a couple of hours using a huge amount of stuffing which I push tightly using a stuffing tool until it becomes hard enough that the pins cannot get lost into the pincushion. This is then fitted to a 3.75" natural beech wooden bowl, glued in place and the bowl is protected with a sealant. Finished with white crochet lace around the brim and double rolled satin ribbons in pink and white, the white is tied into a small bow. My pincushions have 3 layers of fabric to ensure a longevity. Made for the crafter, someone who loves to sew, this would make a beautiful unique keepsake gift. This will be posted by Royal Mail Tracked 48 parcel post.
