Here it is, my first project: a pincushion.

I used
Heather Bailey's Square Deal pincushion pattern. I had a little trouble lining up the side piece with the squares, but all in all, I think it turned out great!

I used a yellow button on the top and a turquoise one for the bottom. The yellow ribbon was hard to get through the stuffing (I broke 2 crappy needles last night trying). But with proper needles (which I bought today on my trip to the marketplace on Ottawa St.) it was easy.

I used these fabrics, which I bought from
orientalfabrics, an Etsy shop that sells really cute Japanese fabric.
I have 2 ideas for my next projects. One will be some simple covers for the wooden seat of the chairs around my craft table. I hate how my legs stick to the chair when it's hot out and I'm wearing shorts. I also want to try to make a skirt ~ I bought some pretty white and light blue linen for that.
I think I'll practice a bit more before I try making a skirt.
