Cut very neatly & carefully round the outline of the fused

Bondaweb you should end up with something that looks like

this dont remove the Bondaweb backing paper yet:

Cut out the circular paper pattern for the pincushion top and

base, then pin to your chosen piece of felt and cut out. Repeat

for the base of the pincushion.

Take the pincushion top and the cupcake pieces over to your

iron and arrange them on your ironing board like this:

Leaving the icing section in place, pick up the cupcake case

(the lilac section in my photo) and remove the Bondaweb

backing paper. Then carefully put the case section back in

place, next to the icing, and use your iron to fuse. Now repeat

this process with the icing section, making sure that the 2

pieces match together as closely as possible (dont worry if

there are a few little gaps, you will bring them together with

your stitching later). You should end up with something like

this:

Now take 3 strands of co-ordinating embroidery thread and

topstitch round the base and 2 sides of the cupcake base.

When sewing the sides keeping the stitches parallel with the

bottom of the cupcake makes for a neater finish.

This is what the stitching will look like on the back its the

slant that keeps your stitches nice and straight on the front.

This might be stating the obvious, but this is the sort of thing

that I need spelling out to me!

Now topstitch the icing section using a co-ordinating thread

including sewing along the line where the icing meets the

base. Make sure that you pull any gappy bits together. I like to

make sure I get a nice stitch in the V where the icing meets

the cupcake case so you get something that looks like this:

Now decorate the cupcake with whatever stitching you like. I

like to use French knotsor rice/seeding stitch to make the

sprinkles, and lazy daisy stitches to make flowers, or whipped

back stitch to create lines on the cupcake base.. Get creative!

You could also use little seed beads or bugle beads to make

the sprinkles, if youre not that keen on embroidery!

9/20



Once youve done all the stitching you want to do, sew on a

cheerful button the cherry on the cake!

Im not giving you an exact measurement for the length of the

piece of felt you need to cut to create the pincushion sides,

because it could be that your software/printer has printed the

pattern pieces a little larger or smaller than mine So, now

its time for the maths!

Measure across the widest part of the pincushion top it

should be about 7cm (2 3/4), and multiply that number by

3.14 (thats Pi to the maths whizzes out there). You should

get an answer of around 22-23cm (8 1/2 9 1/4). Add on an

extra 1.5cm (1/2) to make sure that youll have an overlap

when you sew round. When you have your final measurement,

cut a piece of felt that length and 4cm (1 3/4) high.

Now line up the top of your pincushion with the start of the

long edge of the side piece you have just cut. You are going

to join them using blanket stitch heres a great video on You

Yube which shows how to do blanket stitch. Heres how you

start the knot is hidden in between the two pieces of felt:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXkSE2TTF4shttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXkSE2TTF4shttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXkSE2TTF4shttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXkSE2TTF4shttp://www.flickr.com/photos/32221538@N05/5919277611/


10/20



Work blanket stitch all the way round, joining the top and side

together. When you are almost back to where you started, trim

off any excess overlapping felt so that you have something

that looks like this with a smal l overlap:

As you complete the round make sure you catch up the

overlapping section with blanket stitch to secure it neatly.

Fasten off the stitching securely on the inside of the

pincushion.

Now you need to sew up the side of the pincushion. I like to

do this with a simple whip stitch its a bit tricky because you

have to put one hand inside the cushion but persevere it

can be done, and its only a couple of inches! Heres how you

do it:
http://www.futuregirl.com/craft_blog/2007/01/tutorial-hand-sew-felt.aspxhttp://www.futuregirl.com/craft_blog/2007/01/tutorial-hand-sew-felt.aspxhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/32221538@N05/5919840948/http://www.flickr.com/photos/32221538@N05/5919840200/


11/20



Now take the base section you cut a while back, and use

blanket stitch to sew it to the sides, as you did for the top.

Stop when you are about an 3cm (an inch or so) from the end

dont fasten off, just unthread your needle and leave the

long piece of thread hanging whilst you stuff the cushion be

careful not to stuff the thread tail into your cushion (like I have

in the pic!).
http://www.flickr.com/photos/32221538@N05/5919280085/


12/20



Now stuff the pincushion use whatever you like. And make

sure its thoroughly stuffed to ensure that it keeps its shape.

Now rethread your needle and sew some more blanket stitch

until you have a lmost closed the hole push a little bit more

stuffing inside just to make sure that there arent any unstuffed

little bits. Close the hole and fasten off.

And youre all finished - I hope you like your new

pincushion!

These are soo adorable!!! My favorite cupcake is a rich

chocolate cupcake with peanut butter frosting and chopped

peanuts on top! And to make it even better, I usually fill the

center of it with more peanut butter frosting. Simply

wonderful!!

Fantastic tutorial! I especially love the button cherry

Im pretty indiscriminate with my cupcakes, I love them all!

Ill probably go with vanilla though, as thats the flavour I

seem to make the most often!

Reply

J i l lJuly 12, 2011 at 14:36

I think yellow cupcakes with white frosting are the most

delicious, then again Ive never met a cupcake I didnt like.

The cupcake pincushion is adorable!

HelenJuly 12, 2011 at 13:19

Great tutorial! What does the Eco-fi felt feel like? I struggle

to work with wool felt as it makes me itch and was

wondering if this would be a good alternative? My favourite

flavour is either lemon ripple (with lemon curd filling andvanilla icing) or earl grey (again, with vanilla icing). Thanks

for the giveaway!

Laura JaneJuly 12, 2011 at 12:32

OHHH these are SCRUMPTIOUS!!! Thanks for the tutorial.

The favorite cupcake around here is SNICKERDOODLE

with CINNAMON CREAMCHEESE icing. Another is the

RASPBERRY TRUFFLE with DARK CHOCOLATE

GANACHE!!!..WE have the SWEETEST store here called

THE CUPCAKERYwww.cravethecup.com. A must after a

date with my PRINCE.

Oooh, youve given me a jolly good idea there I actually

won Felted Rainbows last giveaway, lots of lovely felt

flower shapes, but havent had a moment to really do

something with them. Pretty annoying as theyre so nice to

work with! Thanks to your very clear instructions I may justhave to have a go at some applique-ing with them!

PS: fresh strawberry cupcakes for me

Chocolate for me but I ping it in the microwave for a few

seconds and then pour cream over it too yummmmmy

TeresaJuly 12, 2011 at 09:49

Great tutorial. I always feel that I should hide sititching but

if its as neat as this it enhances the design!

Favourite cup cake has to be blueberry.

Mmmm anything with some turquoise frosting there is

something a bit naughty (and very unhealthy) about blue

food! Thanks for the chance I will give this pattern a go

at some point, thank you x

SusanJuly 11, 2011 at 22:23

Im afraid it is a bit predictable but it is chocolate all the

way for me. Rich deep chocolate cake and a very

chocolatey icing, not overly sweet. To me that is heaven.
