The flower for this one is larger than the others I've made because I used a 1/4" allowance and stuffed it tight at the bottom. The leaves are also more covered up by the rose than usual.
The finished cuff is available in my etsy shop here (sold out, but check here for the ones currently available) and the pattern can be found at michellepatterns.com, etsy, or Craftsy.

Finished this pincushion up this morning. This was made using the Rose Pincushion Cuff pattern. This finished cuff is available in my etsy shop here.
I also hope to stock glass head pins in my shop soon. These are fine patchwork pins for using when you don't have a lot of layers to pin together. They work great for making this flower.
The glass heads means you can press them without melting them, and they are beautiful pins. They are worth having in your sewing tools.

Yesterday I started some new pincushion cuffs. I've been meaning to make a few more, but choosing fabrics has slowed me down.
Rather than try to pair up 3 different fabrics, and go into it knowing exactly which fabrics I'd use for each cuff, I cut out some cuff bands in the fabrics I wanted to use as cuff bands, made some leaves in the fabrics I wanted to use for leaves, and now I'm working on making flowers to go with what I've got so far.
This blue/green one is the first finished. Perhaps I'll get a few more done this weekend. It's too hot to do much outside, allergies are giving me some ear problems, and tonight the fireworks will stress the dog out, so I'm probably not venturing far from my sewing machine!

The blue chambray and denim pincushions are some of my favorites, so I've made more than a few of them. This one is a little different than the others, because this one is a made from a stretch fabric.
This was my first time making one of these from stretch fabric and I wasn't quite sure how it was going to go. But it was no problem at all and the finished cuff has a nice squishy feel. I like it!
The pattern to make this cuff is available here.
