Cable Knit Pincushions

These beautiful old molds...




and this chunky, gorgeous, cotton cable knit sweater...


came together to make a beautiful pincushion!


I cut out a square of fabric.


and hand sewed it in a large circle, pulling the sting tight as I went.

When I got to the end I stuffed the circle with cotton balls.


and tied it tight.

Then I hot glued the stuffed fabric into the mold.


  And voila!





Adorable little pin cushions...

And... the rest of the sweater became a chunky, cozy, pillow cover.
