I ended up making a second one for my swap partener Lisa, as I thought the first one wasnt very exciting and wouldnt really hold that many pins. So I found a tutorial off the net and came up with this one. I was lazy however and sewed by machine, not hand. I used some red and navy wool that I recently dyed (some people should never touch fabric dyes, I am one of them...that is another story). I also used some of my favorite vintage floral and polka dot fabric.
And here is what I was sent from Lisa! This super cute little cushion with some felt and ric rac- I love it!
And this colourful one with a beautiful big flower and butterfly on top. Thankyou so much Lisa! I have put them straight to use. One can never have too many good pin cushions.

I love both the pin cushions that you made! You are going to laugh when you see the one I made Lissy.
If you want to try dyeing again, I can help you!
I love those pin cushions, but have to say the polka dot one is my favourite.
