Something different...

 

Goal: to create two new crafts you've never tried before.

So, I made a dotee, and a fabric pincushion, whee! It was like this big thing for me to sew, I wonder why so much anxiety?

 

The machine did fight me with the dotee fabric, but flew through the pincushion; its other side is a thick tan fabric. I learned a lot, like that I can't sew a circle well, even with there is a big thick line made with a sharpie! So it wasn't very even of a shape from the start!

 

Then I accidentally sewed it shut, ARGG.

 

Then I stuffed and the hole I left was too big, so my hand-sewn area was prominent and FLAT. When I made the partitions, the didn't some out as evenly as I wanted...but flowers don't grow perfectly in nature, right?

 

I hope the recipient doesn't make the same faces I did at the poor thing. Please stab it with pins for me hon!

 

I imagine the process of learning was more important than perfection, but yeesh nothing wanted to go well for these two!
