Before & After: Pin Cushion Lady!

Would you like to see another makeover? I found this sweet little pincushion from the delightful Etsy shop Recycled Wares and fell in love with her naive look.

She was sweet exactly as she was...

but I had something more sumptuous in mind.

I gave her a bath, a dab of fresh paint, some tinsel trim, a few floral pins and a massive satin bow that would make Eliza Doolittle green with envy.

Now she reminds me of Marie Antoinette! Haven't decided if I'm going to part with her yet or not. If you'd like to add her to your collection, you can send me an e-mail inquiry at thefabulousmissbATgmailDOTcom. I like to my tools to be whimsical as well as functional whenever possible- she certainly is bringing a little extra pizazz to my sewing projects at the moment. Do you have a cute pincushion? What does yours look like?

I love her! I want her to live with me! You did a fantastic job. I probably would have left her "as is"-and would have totally missed out!

She is precious! I have made a lot of pincushions so I have a good selection! Always on the lookout for something unique like this though! ♥
