Tiny Scrap Fabric Pincushion Tutorial - English Paper Piecing and Hand Sewing

  • In this video I sort out my scrap fabrics to use really small pieces to make a pincushion. I use lots of hand sewing techniques including English paper piecing.
    Here are some basic dimensions and numbers for the project. It is very scrappy and I created it in a very free way so I don't have exact fabric requirements but hopefully these dimensions will help.
    19 x 3/8" hexiform hexagons (hexiform is left in, if you use paper remember to remove them before the appliqué stage)
    How to sew a hexagon flower video: • English Paper Piecing ...
    4" linen circle backed with 4" circle of wadding for the top of the pincushion
    4" hexiform circle for the base. 4 1/2" linen circle for the base
    14" x 1 3/4" piece of hexiform for the sides of the pincushion
    Cut scraps that are 2" wide for the ruffle. I varied the length of these to give a scrappy look. I made my ruffle approximately twice the circumference of the circle and gathered them up to fit.
    Cut scraps that are 2 1/2" wide for the sides of the pincushion. I varied the length of these to give a scrappy look.
    I hope you like making it if you give it a go.
    Hexiform is available from ashmeaddesigns...

    Hi, I just found you, I am really enjoying watching. I am in the USA, eastern side. I have been so busy with emotional things for quite awhile and have not been able to do any sewing or knitting. Hopefully things have calmed down now and I can get back to doing my thing that “I” enjoy. You have been a great help to me, just watching. Thank you, will continue.

    Hi Emma...I just love this little pincushion so much! I bought some Liberty fabric and I’m already working on my EPP. I bought the fabric epp hexigons so I don’t have to take them out. Thank you so much for this video tutorial. I made the little scissor keeper a little while ago, and I just love it! It just gets more precious to me all the time! I’ve been learning how to quilt, but there’s just something so special and relaxing with hand stitching. You have such a beautiful voice and the music you play in the background is lovely! Thank you!
