I trust all the mothers out there had a happy day yesterday.
I've made a photo patchwork of the pin cushion photos.
Flynn thought it would be a good idea to post the instructions of how to make a pin cushion too, so here they are.
How to Make a Pin Cushion
You will need:
a hot glue gun
a piece of solid fabric about the size of your hand
a needle and thread (any colour will do)
half a giant walnut shell OR a milk bottle lid
stuffing
scissors
How to make the pin cushion:
Cut your fabric into a circle.
Thread the needle with a long piece of thread. Put a big knot at the end.
Sew a running stitch around the edge of the fabric.
Pull the thread so that you make the fabric into a sack.
Stuff your sack tightly.
Pull the string tight and stitch the hole shut.
Cut the needle off.
Put the cushion into the shell (or bottle top) and run a line of glue around the top of the shell and the cushion.
Let it dry then you’re done!

Thank you for my wonderful pin cushion, I have used it quite a lot already so it is very handy. Flynn gave his second pin cushion creation to his favourite neighbour, Isabella. She loves hers and keeps it on a special shelf.
Thank you Room 16 for making such wonderful crafts.
From Vicki, Flynn's mum.
