| Fabric scraps |
Someone gave me a bunch of small fabric scraps to use in teaching sewing classes. I experimented by making these mice pin cushions from "100 Pretty Little Projects". These mice turned out to be too difficult- they are too small for beginners. I do think they are cute. The directions say to put a rock in the bottom to weigh them down, but I had some big washers, which worked well, and make the bottoms flat. I still have to figure out what I want to use for eyes and noses. (the ears are held on by straight pins in these photos) I really wanted to use buttons for eyes, but did't have any small enough. I ran wire in the tails, so they can be twisted.

For my class, I think I'll make a bigger pattern for a porcupine, and the pins can be his quills.

I checked-out this book from my public library.
