CUSTOM Creepy Eye bottlecap pincushions

Description

Made by Jen Segrest aka Verybigjen on flickr.com.
Others on etsy have made these, you should get yours from the original maker!

This is only for ONE eyeball pincushion made to order in your choice of skin and eye color and option of bloodshot-ness.

Creep out your quiltclub, gross out your fellow seamstresses!

This pincushion/decor item was sent for inclusion in the upcoming book "Pretty Little Pincushions" that hits shelves in Nov. 2007, and now it can be yours!

At just under 2" tall this is a little pincushion will look creep out everyone around you while it's sitting on your dashboard, computer, desk sewing machine or in your sewing box.

These little pincushions look great and fit anywhere, even those little sections in your embroidery floss box. Great for any sewing kit. Add a velcro dot to the bottom and to your sewing machine shelf for a convenient place to put you pins while sewing.

Having been making these a few yeas now I find one of these to be essential for sewing kit I have and others who have bought/made them as well agree! They are super handy and a simple way to always have your pins at hand.

Not only pretty, these are practical! With the recycled soda bottlecap base even your smallest pins and needles can't punch through and needles won't get lost. Each is densely packed with polyfil to be solid so your pins and needles won't loosen over time or fall out if you drop them. They stay in!

Also great for home sewing and tailoring the bottlecap inside helps you hold it tight without 'needle bites' as they fit in the crook between finger and thumb, keeping the rest of your hand free to turn and pin.
