Blessed day my dear and appreciated NeedleWorkMonday friends, I hope you are well, enjoying good health and doing what you like the most. In this post I want to show you how I made this beautiful sunflower that will serve as a pincushion.
I made this project at the request of my mother, who loves to sew. I had already knitted her a flower pincushion in the past, but since I made it with thick yarn, it got a lot of lint on it and it doesn't look pretty anymore. So she asked me to make her another pincushion, but this time she wants it to be a bracelet style pincushion, so that she can put it on and have her pins always at hand (literally).
For this occasion I decided to knit a sunflower, since it is my favorite flower and my mom also likes it very much. The pattern for this sunflower is very simple. You start by knitting the center of the flower in brown for the front and in green for the back. Then both pieces are sewn together and stuffed with some allergy friendly stuffing. After having the center filled and closed, we proceed with the petals, which are obviously woven in yellow. In the back part, which is in green, we knit some small leaves, making low stitches and chain stitches.
With the flower ready, the next thing I did was to sew some thick elastic to the back of the sunflower. The pincushion should look like a kind of wristwatch. The pins will be placed in the center part of the sunflower that is woven in brown. Since this center has enough padding, there is no risk that my mother could get pricked or hurt by any of the pins.
My mom had seen this pincushion idea on Pinterest several weeks ago and had asked me to make her something similar, but for various reasons, I had not been able to fulfill her request. Now I feel quite happy to be able to please my mom, since she is the one who is always spoiling us. It was a pleasure to be able to share with you a new project. Thanks for reading, greetings and blessings.
