A New Pocket Watch Pincushion ..

Hello my dear friends,

 since I enjoyed making my last pincushions using vintage pocket watch casings so much I decided to create another one. 

I wanted this one to look a little Victorian and elegant and I hope I have achieved it.
I had some lovely vintage dark red velvet in my fabric drawer that was beyond perfect for the look I was going for. The leftover half from the old doily that I used in my lamp creation was also exactly what I needed. The rest of this creation just came together as I was working on it.

 And this is my newest pocket watch pincushion ...


... 'Victoriana'.


I hope that you can at least a small sort of idea of the beautiful deep red color of the velvet.








I am so happy with the way my latest pincushion has turned out, just how I had seen it in my mind.

Unfortunately it seems that I can't capture the beautiful deep red velvet no matter how much I try which is such a shame, but believe me it is so lovely and rich.

I am hoping to share a few more new creations very soon with all you lovely bloggers so don't forget to stop by from time to time here at Todolwen and visit me again.

I hope you are well my dear friends and life is treating you kind.

Have a peaceful and creative day.
