Just thought I’d show off some teacup pincushions and candles I have made recently. I have been making them for a couple of years now and they have proved to be very popular which I am super duper pleased about as I love making them.
The pin cushions are all made from vintage fabrics and remnants of embroidery. They are weighted in the base and tightly stuffed with wadding.
The candles are made from environmentally friendly soy wax which burns much slower and longer. The residue can be simply washed out in warm soapy water, so that the cup can be re-used or I re-fill with wax for a small fee!
Some of the cups may be stained inside or have lost their saucer or even have a fine hairline crack. Some are perfect but just no longer wanted. Whatever their tale of woe, I can’t bear to see them thrown them away so they come home with me to start a new chapter in their life.

Love these teacup pincushions, and I love the way the names suit their characters.
