Pincushion tutorial

LOVE my new pincushion??? I found the tutorial HERE and thought I would do another one for ya since I had so much fun making it!!!  Wanna make one?

You will need:

3 coordinating fabrics measuring 8 1/2″ x 1″ for the pincushion top
1 piece of fabric measuring 3 1/2″x3 1/2″ for pincushion back
coordinating thread
your choice in stuffing

First things first....get a really good helper!!!

Chose your three different fabrics! Doesn't  have to be much, scraps will work. 

Take your 3 coordinating fabrics and make 1″ strips

Trim those to 81/2″ long

quick shot of Ty helping!

Sew your three strips together along the longest edges.

You will have something like this, but probably prettier!

Press, folding the seam allowances to one side.

Take the fabric strip and cut it into four 2″ pieces.

Rotate a couple of pieces through 90 degrees and lay them out  to create your design.

Sew fabrics together.

Pick out your coordinating back piece and sew together leaving a half inch to insert filling.

new fun

Ty's cute new things....he can feed himself. Kinda, he can put puffs and cheerios in his own mouth. It's SOOO DARLING!! I don't know what happened to my picky eater. He seriously went from eating hardly anything and only wanting his bottle to now eating ANYTHING....he even LOVES the baby food meats that everyone said all babies hate. So I think it wont be long tell my skinny little baby starts to put some meat on his bones! 

I heard it's bad to feed your babies to sleep....but Ty always sleeps so much better and longer with a bottle. Also he just looks so dang cute half asleep with a bottle in his hand!! Does anyone know why it's bad?? 

Aunt Heather and her two little men...She is SOOO sweet!

 Another new trick of Ty's is he can now pull himself up in the crib. It kinda freaked me out at first. He looks so big. BUT he LOVES it!!! He gets so excited to be standing!!!
