unfinished business

so the pin cushion i have sucks.  it is not very "stuffy" or full of the soft squishy stuff to put your needles in.  it's like putting a needle into wood.  hey mom, if you were still looking for a great birthday gift, i would LOVE one of those awesome cushions mamaw made you!

so i found some tutorial on how to make a pin cushion with a little baggie to catch your thread and scrap fabric.  i started it like 3 weeks ago and got most of it done, i just haven't finished it yet.  oh my.

don't look to hard at the ruffle around the pin cushion.  i didn't realize that the corners of square things are actually rounded until after i tried to sew the ruffle into the square.  haha!  but i'm too lazy to rip it apart.  i'll probably just make another one.  either way, it still does its job and i'm not giving it to anyone, just using it for me, myself and i.  nothing wrong with that, right?  ;-)
