I've heard that the bedding material sold for reptiles in pet shops is crushed walnut shells - I keep meaning to buy some to try (for the pincushions I mean - I don't have any repptiles!)!Bouts Choisishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06430596259440499206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608589772277647811.post-51330611301931651192012-07-27T18:17:26.800-07:002012-07-27T18:17:26.800-07:00Thank you:)Thank you:)Danih03https://www.blogger.com/profile/06038011201802847978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608589772277647811.post-33323714392929088712012-07-26T15:14:48.750-07:002012-07-26T15:14:48.750-07:00cute pincushion.cute pincushion.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06622919657309096651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608589772277647811.post-20011031478681927222012-07-23T14:51:26.649-07:002012-07-23T14:51:26.649-07:00Thanks.

Fussy cut fabric for the screen, those dots on selveges for the knobs, regular buttons for the knobs. I even have a fabric that could look like white snow for the screen.

I use all kinds of filling... Fiber Fill... Sand.. crushed walnut shells...Plastic pellets. What ever I can get my hands on ...everything works just fine. If you use sand or walnut.. I recommend making a beanbag out of it and putting the bag inside your project.Christine Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00864768182290065922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608589772277647811.post-45565925940295519942012-07-20T02:04:08.124-07:002012-07-20T02:04:08.124-07:00I love this!

You need to have a lining OR just iron a tricot interfacing on the wrong side of your pattern pieces. Some people use ground up walnut shells. ~JeanneRay and Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16016180736310628859noreply@blogger.com
