Fall is almost here ~ wouldn’t this be a charming addition to your primitive Autumn collection. I used camel colored wool and a brown herringbone wool to create this lovely acorn make do. It stands 10 and 1/2 inches tall including the glass base. I painted the glass base to resemble rusty metal. I love these 3 miniature acorns ~ They are attached to the larger acorn. +All the feather stitching is brown pearl cotton
I found this cute little drawer at an estate sale and filled it with some prim sewing accessories. I put a small rectangular wool pincushion in the front of the drawer. The upper left section of the drawer holds a collection of fabric scraps. I always stain or dye a sample of fabric prior to using the fabric in a project. All the scraps in this drawer are actual samples from some of my previous Autumn and Halloween prim creations
The upper right section holds an old bottle of buttons with a fabric top, a skein of antique gold pearl cotton, some orange floss a spool and a little brown piece of felted wool.
As shown the drawer measures approximately 4 and 3/4 inches wide, 7 inches long and 2 and 1/4 inches tall. The handle on the front is off center
I used a pattern by Sassafras Hill for the acorn

21 Sunday Aug 2016
Posted in Pincushions, Pinkeeps
Click here to see current eBay listing
Today I am offering a new sewing collection which was inspired by this beautiful dark cranberry leaf patterned cotton
I used this dark cranberry cotton to make both strawberries and the interior lining of the sewing roll. I also used a coordinating cranberry and black patterned check for the pockets and outer fabric of the sewing roll and a tan and black for the small rectangular pin keep
~I used black embroidery thread for all the decorative stitching~
There is tons of feather stitching on the large and small strawberries. I wanted the sewing roll to look as if the owner used it to practice decorative stitching so I used a combination of blanket stitching, chain stitches, stem stitches and more feather stitching to finish this unique set. I even added some outlining stitches to the leaves and scrolls in the fabric
There are so many ways you can display this set. The sewing roll has one regular pocket at the top and a gathered pocket on the bottom
As shown large strawberry measures approximately 8 inches tall, the rectangular pin keep is 3 x 5 inches, the small strawberry is 2 and 1/2 inches long and the sewing roll is 18 inches long and 6 inches wide
I used a pattern by Sassafras Hill for the large and the small strawberries the rest of the collection is of my own creation
This is a special one-of-a-kind offering that will not be repeated
