These fabrics, of course, are the wonderful Island Batiks;) These were sent to me by Island Batik for use in our monthly challenges. This month the challenge is to try a new technique or pattern. I knew that I had several scraps of paisley dots left so I chose my favorite colors. You don't need much fabric to make this little guy. These are my absolutely favorite colors.
I needed a piece of thin wood from DH's stash, no problem he had a small piece for me to make a 3 inch circle. In fact I had everything on hand I needed to make it up. Only took a few hours. I would have been done a little sooner if I had read the pattern thoroughly before beginning to cut out the fabric:( But it doesn't matter now because I just love the finished tuffet!!
This button came home with me from Arizona. In fact a couple bags of buttons came home with me, they were only $1 for a big bag. And they had lots of black buttons in there for snowman eyes;) As I was getting ready for the needed button on the tuffet I spotted them and saw this one that was perfect for it. The tuffet pattern can be found HERE.
All ready to sew, in a couple days. First I need to attend the MN quilt show Thursday and Friday. I will have time to sew on Saturday because DH has a meeting to attend.

ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! Your 'try something new' project is a big win. I see many pins and needles sticking out of that little tuffet!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI have seen those tuffet pincushions and the larger foot stool ones for years. I always thought they were cute, but since I have so many pincushions already as it is, I never made one. Yours in great in batiks and I love those colors too!
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable, my sister and I did that size and resized the pattern and did larger ones, love them. Yours turned out so cute.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet, wee little tuffet!! Just big enough for a fairy to put her feet up :)

ReplyDeleteSo sweet, a tuffet pincushion.
ReplyDeleteLove it! You and I have the same favorite colors. :) Well done!
ReplyDeleteAdorable!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I've seen lots of the full size tuffets around here, but I don't have a place to put a huge tuffet. It would be fun to make a little pincushion sized one.
ReplyDeleteCool Colors + cute cushion = win win!!!
