I took a tired old cross stitched cover off this pincushion and the layer underneath was not much better either!
So I unscrewed the base and took this layer off too.
I then went off to find some lovely, cheerful and summery fabric and I found this.........
I decided to stretch it over the sponge and wooden base rather than gluing it or using a staple gun which did not work as I did try that first!
What do you think?
My much loved and much used wooden based pin cushion, now has a new lease of life.
Have a good week and thank you for the comments left. I shall reply now that I have completed my end of year reports.
Take care

Oh, dear Andrea;
This one is soooo much better, and perfectly YOU! Sorry I haven't visited much. I'll try to do better.
Happy Summer, girlfriend!

Your pin cushion is looking great,the fabric you used is just lovely!
Great makeover for your old pincushion - that fabric is lovely!
Pincushion looks lovely - I have a similar needlepoint one which I have NEVER been happy with, I didn't quite get the needlepoint smooth enough and it is a bit bumpy - I think I might re-do it having seen yours!
