Right now there is a Zakka Style Sew Along going on
and I'm really excited about it as I love the book (read my review here) but sometimes need a nudge to actually make the projects. Since this week's project is the easiest on in the book I decided to go for it and instead of making one, I made three. The first is fully following along, very little wandering off script in as Zakka a Style as I can muster.
Love that covered polka dot button!
Here's the back:
The second, is taking the general idea and cutting guidelines of the pincushion and doing it my own way with my hand made fabrics.
It has a plain linen back.
and here's the fabric panel I started with:
and the third is pulling it back, making a me-ish and zakka-ish hybrid... day of the dead style, of course, using a Bombshell Stamp.
What do you think?
Tell me which one tickles your fancy the most and I'll draw a lucky winner to get the pin cushion of their choice in the mail.
Edit: I forgot to mention that I added dried herbs in between layers of poly-fil so they smell divine.

Super cute Nicole, I adore the one with the bumble bee~~ Great work
Wow you make such amazing stuff Nicole, total inspiration everytime I come here. I adore the 'day of the dead' pincushion, just love it.
LOVE your handmade fabric one!! They are all awesome!!!
These turned out beautiful, Nicole! I especially love the first one because the bee looks like he is off to enjoy the lovely flowers nearby!
Loved your versions, very cute! The vibrant colors of the "Tye dye" one is fantastic and so different!
The one you made a la Zakka is my favorite...I love everything about it!
These are fabulous, Nicole! Is there anything you can't do? I love the first one with the bee! So pretty!
Oooh, the hybrid Day of the Dead is my favorite but they're all fantastic.
