Pincushion Cat Bartholomew is a completely functional pincushion for sewers or can be used as a cool decorative piece. The majority of this pincushion was hand sewn. Bartholomew, like all my other creations, is handcrafted and made from my own patterns.
This item consists of 1 cat/bat pincushion and 15 assorted pins. The extra pins, measuring tape, thread and tomato pincushion shown in certain pictures are not included.
The bat part of the pincushion is made of speckled charcoal gray felt and the cat parts are made out of orange felt. To make it look like he's wearing a a bat suit, I sewed a circular piece of orange felt onto the face. His face consists of 2 black ballpoint pins for the eyes, 1 white ballpoint pin for the nose and 12 straight pins that make up the mouth and whiskers (6 for whiskers and 6 for the mouth). His feet are made from orange pom poms. He has black bat wings attached to his back. The wings are made out of black pleather and I sewed lines onto them to make the veins. And to make it look even more like he's in a bat suit, I stitched in a fake lace-up with black embroidery floss. He is firmly stuffed with 100% polyester fiberfill. I also made a sand pouch from cotton fabric and sewed that inside the pincushion which gives him more stability. The sand is wrapped first in a plastic bag (just to make sure no sand will ever escape) and then it goes into the cotton fabric pouch.
He stands approximately 5.5 inches (14 cms) tall and measures approximately 11 inches (28 cms) around the belly with a wing span of approximately 9.25 inches (23.5 cms).
