TV Time

Last night I found myself wanting a hand project to work on while watching a movie with my husband, Paul. Ever get the urge to do something that is fast, easy and fun to do? That’s what I was looking for. I had recently picked up a copy of Cloth-Paper-Scissors’ special publication “Studios” at the local bookstore and remembered there was a yo yo pincushion project I liked. The pattern called for three different size circles made into yo yos with two yo yos left flat and the third stuffed. This is it!! A quick, easy and fun project that would give me a little boost. I cut out my three circles, grabbed my needle, thread and scissors and headed off to watch a Harry Potter movie.

The larger pin cushion is made following the circle sizes given in the article. I like to have a little smaller pin cushion next to the machine to hold just a few pins that I use as I am machine piecing – so I decided to reduce the size of the circles and try a smaller version. The smaller pin cushion fits my needs much better but both were fun to make.
