Day 39 High Chair Cover Ready; Pin Cushion Jar

The high chair cover is completed. There are some mistakes and when I do it again I'll pay more attention. I guess I should cut the cover in one piece, cover it and then apply harness. I did this one in separate pieces and thought about the next step as I went along. I will also apply bias binding around the edges for a neater look. For now it will do, and it's not that bad considering it was done without a pattern and without any previous experience in sewing quilted material!
The other project I did today (yep I managed 2)was a pin cushion jar. It is simply a baby food jar with a piece of fabric and wadding attached to the top acting as a pin cushion. The jar is then used as storage for buttons, pins, beads, etc.
Things needed are: baby food jar (or any other smallish jar) & lid, glue gun, glue sticks, thread & needle, ruler, pencil, scissors, fabric material, wadding material, pins, buttons or beads, ribbon.
I drew a circle on the material using a bowl (approx 13cm for a 5 cm diameter lid) and cut them out. The fabric is the same but photos show different colours... sorry!

The wadding is cut a bit smaller than the fabric material and stitches are manually sewn around the outer edges, then tucking them to form a sort of ball.

Next apply some glue from the glue gun on the top of the lid. Stick the 'ball' to it. Be a bit fast as the glue dries quickly. Apply some more glue around the lid and apply a piece of ribbon leaving some extra 7 cm each side to tie into a bow.

Fill the jars, and put pins on top. The pin cushion jar is ready :-)








Take care, have a lovely evening;
