Pin cushion for Joe

I just finished sewing this cute little pincushion. I made it for Joe for his upcoming 9th birthday this weekend.

The fabric is all scrappy fabric from my stash, the zip, well, I think I used the wrong size but it still worked out ok.

It didn't take very long to make, I finished it in a couple of days but I was doing a bit here & there but if you just sat down to make it, you could definitely whip this up in just one day.

The cute little birdie thingy inside the pouch is actually a needle threader & thread cutter. You lift the beak up to thread the needle and the cutter is just there on it's back.

The pattern is this one. It's a fun, easy to make gift idea and is perfect for scraps.
I'll be making one or two for myself as I think they'll be handy for knitting/crochet stitch markers.

I've also bought myself a second pattern from the designer, this one as I thought I could make ones for the kids next year for their new school year/classes.
I really hope Joe loves it, if not, I'll happily steal it off of him!
