Variation on a theme

Those elephants I showed you about a week ago reminded me that I had a pattern for a pin cushion that I’d been planning to make. Elephants may never forget, but I do! LOL! Anyway, this pattern was for an elephant pin cushion — a really cute one. It was trickier to make than the others, both because it was smaller (smaller usually = more fiddly) and because it had more pieces. I stuffed it with some more of that lovely filling I’d used on the toys, but I also added some crushed walnut shells for extra weight and for their beneficial effect on pins.

I have plenty of pin cushions, but I can’t seem to resist some of the cute ones that are available!
