Die Pin Cushion
Our home is filled with various forms of dice and dice related goods. I’d be remiss in not including dice into my sewing so I decided to make my first pin cushion today inspired by a singular red and white die courtesy of Adam and Sam’s Town. I borrowed instructions from instructables rubik’s cube pin cushion idea and modified it to fit the die. I used synthetic red and white felt, sewing the squares together and gluing the pips on afterwards (mostly out of fear of sewing the sides on incorrectly.) The die is stuffed with poly-fil, and in the end I think I spent about two hours working on it because I sewed it by hand and not by machine. I think if I had done this with a machine I would have whipped it out in less than twenty minutes.
Out of everything I’ve made, this pin cushion is my favorite! It was the project I had the most fun with, and one where I can see my sewing and crafting skills improve the most. I think I might have to make another die so I have a pair. What fun!For those who like to embroider more, I found this die pin cushion pattern at Pussycat magazine.
