Zakka Along 2.0 Head Start: Prettified Pincushion

Have you heard about Zakka Along 2.0: Patchwork, Please? It's starting up soon. I plan to follow along as much as I can but we'll see.

I got a bit of a head start with this adorable Prettified Pincushion:

I used It's a Hoot! scraps with some Essex Linen, with some lovely Melody Miller Viewmasters on the back. It came together fairly quickly (even with the foundation paper pieced top), and Ayumi's construction technique results in nice corners. I recommend the pattern!

    SO SO cute! I love pin cushions but I do not like making them at all. Too small and fiddly for me.

    I love that pincushion! I want to be able to do the sew-along, but I am so bad at having time available when something specific is going on. Such is life. ;)

    Super cute and your photos are great! Did you find a sunny place in Vancouver? By the way, starting early on a sewalong is a way to get kicked off the Queen of Procrastinators throne.

    I read "petrified" pincushion and just laughed. Your finish is just beautiful!

    Where do you buy the book so you can sew along? I don't see a link anywhere for purchasing it.
