[@arwall2143]

Thanks! Your instructions for drawing the pattern are just what I needed. They're clear and easy to follow. What alternative would you suggest if someone doesn't have walnut shells?

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Thank you so much for your generous support! For the filling, I highly recommend you use ground walnut shells if you want your pincushion to last. You can also find them in your local pet stores, although I haven't tested them yet. Otherwise, if you want to make a temporary one, you can use fabric/thread scraps. Or take a small amount of filling from a pillow or cushion and sew them back. :)

[@leobrenes4917]

A beautiful work :D, I happy and inspired to see you videos :) Is difficult for me find the sashiko's thread, but I want practice too :)

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Thank you! 😍You can find how to make alternative sashiko threads in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g16Yg4uEa7meaq8si=P8r6pn3KoR7--eJo

today i sewed along with your tutorial, but i didn't get as far as your asanoha, i did get to the ishinoya (not sure i heard it correctly, sorry if i spelled it wrong). next time i will try to do the intended elaborate design. thank you for sharing!!! i love my finished pincushion, made it for a friend's birthday.

[@ladyflimflam]

I’ve never put a biscornu together this way. I’ve always assembled right side out with a ladder stitch. It makes the shape a bit better than assembling this way.

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Thank you for sharing your experience! It's always interesting to learn new techniques in the crafting community.💕 Another reason I chose to use back stitches is they hold the fabrics together better, so the crushed walnut shells do not fall out. :)

[@gaelhillyardcreative]

Maybe you could take the time , and energy, and effort to show how you do it. And with as much clarity and grace.

[@adrianaaguilarmedina7104]

Hay estencil para facilitar la labor, donde comprar? muchas gracias🌹

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Hi! Personally, I prefer to draw things myself without using patterned stencils. However, you can find stencils with a 1cm or 0.5cm grid which can speed up your process while still allowing you the fun of drawing. Enjoy your crafting!

[@Zockeraufsicht]

🥰👍🥰👍🥰

[@aboutrach6522]

Hi, what are the dimensions of the fabric again? You mentioned 16cm but it looks much larger than that

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Hi, I might have left the seam allowance a bit bigger, but 16cm is exactly what you need to achieve the final size. 13cm for the asanoha pattern (12+0.5 *2), 0.5*2 for seam, and 1*2 for the seam allowance. Hope this helps. ☺️

[@aboutrach6522]

Thank you!@@XiaoxiaoYarn

[@susanhart9923]

to avoid crossing threads at intersection do you slide the needle between the 2 pieces of fabric?

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Yes, when I sew with two layers of fabric, I pass my needle through the layers. :)

[@AnaMaria-gu9kx]

Solo trato de hacerlo mirando xq no entiendo tu idioma.gracias

[@claygirl6133]

How did you grind the walnut shells?

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Hi. I bough it. You should be able to find it in your local pet store. :) but I’m pretty sure you can ground it yourself too. :)

[@mgailqster]

I'm struggling to understand where the diagonal lines go... I'm afraid I have lines going everywhere. Should have practiced on paper, first?

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Hi, I myself like figuring out patterns by drawing them on paper first. It’s a Kinaesthetic learning process, and I really enjoy it. :) So I highly recommend you give it a try. 😊

[@ShellaLuna91]

I like to practice using quad ruled paper note book and and I use different colors as steps

[@craftdipper]

​@@ShellaLuna91thanks for sharing these tips - very helpful.

[@susanhart9923]

which brand white pen are you using? I'm having a problem finding a white pen thatleaves a clear line on fabric.

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Hi, I left the links of the supplies in the description. Hope it helps.
