Handmade Sashiko pincushion with small scrap fabric! Japanese Otedama-style sewing project

[@nancycass3629]

You explained everything very well. What a good idea to mark lines for the seams while the pieces are still flat.

Thank you💕💕

I like that you used the dyed fabric and thread from a previous video and a pincushion would be a perfect project for me. I am going to fill it with crushed walnut shells to help keep the pins and needles sharp. Thank you for sharing this fun project.

Crushed walnut shells! That would be perfect! Thank you for watching as usual😊❤️

I have a similar pincushion called a biscornu. It’s two squares that are offset by 90 degrees and sewn together. I embroidered the top with an Italian bargello pattern. Humans are wondrous, we find so many ways to make interesting shapes!

[@thegreenwrapper]

I just searched biscornu and found it. It’s so beautiful and amazing😍 Thank you so much for sharing the information❤️

[@jennifergamble3272]

If you sew together 5 squares it makes a star.

@jennifergamble3272 Oh that’s clever😊

Very cute. I love the construction. I made a similar one and put the ground walnut shells in it. It gave it some weight. I really like it. I think I’ll try my hand at your construction method.

[@thegreenwrapper]

Thank you! Ground walnut shells will be perfect for it!❤️😊🪡🧵

[@bmnegus3772]

Thank you. This isr beatiful. I recently discovered the biscornu shape acnd made a few, this shape is even more intriguing, so there will be a few more made. I am running out of friends to gift them to!

[@thegreenwrapper]

Thank you😊 I didn’t know about biscornu when I made this video either, but they are so beautiful❤️ I need to try to make one too💕 I hope you’ll also enjoy this Otedama pincushion!

[@nancyhay7597]

I love this project! I would like to teach it to a small group of students. May I get your permission? 🙂

[@thegreenwrapper]

Otedama is a traditional toy which has been around for generations, so Otedama itself is not my original design. I believe you can teach the structure to your students if it’s not exactly the same as my design with Sashiko😊🧵🪡 It would be great if you could mention my channel to your students👍😆

[@nancyhay7597]

@@thegreenwrapper I absolutely will tell my students. They loved the sample I made from your video.
