emery cloud pincushion - blue deer

Description

teeny strawberry - move aside...
here comes the emery cloud pincushion!

this not so little 'embroidered emery cloud' featuring a deer and a tiny tulip is about 4.5" (11cm) long and between 2 and 3 inches (5-7cm) wide at different points. it's machine embroidered and filled entirely with emery grains (check out the pictures to see what emery grain looks like). all fabric used for my pincushions is backed with a layer of fusible interfacing - in the case of the emery pincushion this helps make it more durable, and keeps all of the tiny grains safely inside.

emery is a finely ground metal substance generally used as an abrasive. using it in a pincushion helps in cleaning, polishing, and therefore sharpening your sewing needles by getting rid of residue and dirt.

care instructions:
pinholes will become visible after some use - to get rid of them and make your pincushion look like it's brand new again, take a hot iron and press down on the pincushion in the affected area. pinholes will disappear!
