Pincushion Cat Bertie is a completely functional pincushion for sewers or can be used as a cool decorative piece. The majority of this pincushion was hand sewn. Bertie, like all my other creations, is handcrafted and made from my own patterns.

This item consists of 1 cat pincushion and 15 assorted pins. The extra pins shown in certain pictures are not included.

The kitty pincushion is made of brown felt. Her face consists of 2 blue ballpoint pins for the eyes, 1 yellow ballpoint pin for the nose and 12 straight pins that make up the mouth and whiskers (6 for whiskers and 6 for the mouth). She has 2 tan ballerina slippers made from pom poms and 2 arms made out of brown pom poms. She has a gold ribbon collar and a gold bow by her ear. I made her gold tutu with glittery gold dots out of tulle from a bridal shop I used to work at (I think it's from an Alyce Designs prom dress). She is firmly stuffed with 100% polyester fiberfill. I also made a sand pouch from cotton fabric and sewed that inside the pincushion which gives her more stability. The sand is wrapped first in a plastic bag (just to make sure no sand will ever escape) and then it gets sealed inside the cotton fabric pouch.

She stands approximately 5.5 inches (14 cms) tall and approximately 10.5 inches (26.75 cms) around the belly.
