Antique French Textiles Puzzle Ball Pincushion
This pincushion is made from beautiful antique fabrics I purchased directly from a dealer in France several years ago. When I received them in the mail, I couldn't bring myself to cut into them... just as before with the antique silk and linen... and so they sat in a box. And I forgot about them.
Recently when I found the linen and silk fabrics, I also found these and knew I would use them to make a puzzle ball pincushion. The antique French textiles (the outer sections) are a red, ivory, and tan striped ticking, a red damask, and a red, burgundy, and tan floral cotton print. The inner sections are made from a vintage damask tablecloth that I had previously hand-dyed / aged.
This is completely hand-cut and hand-stitched by me. It was a dream to sew and I savored each and every little stitch taken with needle and thread. How I love hand-work!
It measures about 5" across.
