Introducing the Dishy Pinnie Pincushion Pattern
Sew Your Own Dishy Pinnie Pincushion
You are going to love sewing your own Dishy Pinnie Pincushion! This charming and practical pincushion is perfect for sewists looking to use up those treasured fabric scraps.
The pattern is designed to highlight small prints and motifs, making each pincushion unique and personal. The Dishy is English Paper Pieced with ½" hexagons and is great fun to create, with lots of fussy cutting opportunities for those long saved scraps of prints you love.
I have hand pieced my hexies without papers, it's the way I prefer to sew hexies. I have sewn Dishy Pinnie both as EPP and as hand pieced with similar results.
