Last fall I saw some absolutely adorable pin cushions at the Houston show, but I remained strong and didn’t buy the pattern to make one. However, last month when I was in Phoenix and went to a sewing expo there, the same company was showing the pin cushions again. How could I resist? I mean, wasn’t it meant to be? I didn’t buy the pattern, though; I bought the kit in order to make life easy. I also bought a second little cup for the bottom, and I’m thinking I’m going to be making a second one of these very soon — though I’ll have to go look for the rest of the materials.<\/p>\n
