Our project for August's One Gift A Month Challenge is a Pretty Pocket Pincushion!
Well, this month has totally thrown me off track because I missed the first Wednesday of the month!!!!
Usually I like to put out our One Gift a Month Project on the first Wednesday of the month, but I was distracted... so we are running late.. which of course is not unusual for me!
Not to worry, this project is worth waiting for I think - and won't take long to make!
One Gift a Month Project List so far:
January ~ Scrappy Fabric Basket
February ~ Heart Zippy Pouch
March - Round Quilted Pot Holders
April - Drawstring Gift Bag With Divider
May - Soup Bowl Cozies
June - Little Gift Pouches
July - Christmas Pot Trivet or Hot Pad
Pretty Pocket Pincushion
I thought a pincushion might be a nice addition to our gift box this year, particularly to give to our sewing and quilting friends. So I did a bit of a search and found some cute pocket pincushions on the web!
If you do a search you'll find a bunch of them, but I decided to choose this one of Jennifer's (of Elefantz) tutorials.
I decided to go with my new chicken fabric that I still need to photograph properly for you all... time - I need more time!!!
I also used ricrac instead of lace...
I did not realize the pincushion would be so large! But it did turn out quite pretty and the pocket will fit in a pair of scissors and other odds and ends...

Jennifer has a bunch of pincushion tutorials that you can check out; I guess she must really like them!
