APARTMENT PENTHOUSE #2 - Bernice's Antique Shoe Pincushion

Hello Everyone!

Is it a hat or a mini shoe pincushion!

The lady of the Penthouse does not do

any sewing.

The Antique shoe pincushion has been in her family

for generations.  

So therefore it means a lot to her.

Lots of laughs!

This was my first attempt at making a little

pincushion.

Any home would be lost without one!

Its not a tomato but I did use it as my prototype.

I didn't want a ho-hum type of

pincushion like you see everyday.

I wanted  to make it a little special

like a hand me down kind of thing.

The pincushion sits on a piece of

old lace that I cut up.

My hopes is that the lace

will look a little tattered and used.

The piece hanging down is

suppose to be a little strawberry. I admit that

it doesn't quite look like one, but I don't

think that I did too badly.

I have some more of

these types of shoes that need pincushions in them.

Actually I cut these shoes, rather the feet

off of a vintage doll that was un-salvageable!

Am sorry if the pics are a little blurry.

I strive to take better pics!

 Here is a close-up of my little strawberry.
It is a little big

and doesn't resemble a strawberry.

Now I need to stick it with some pins!

 This is the top. Gee - I hope that I get better at taking pics. 

Thank you for stopping by!
