Petite Bebe Pin Cushion

Here is what I came up with for the second giveaway.
I stamped some muslin with a 'Paris' theme and used
a vintage baby shoe for the base of the pin cushion.
tutorial for these adorable little pin cushions.
I'm not quite done with it. It needs some embellishments.
I added a vintage French lace for the shoe string. The lace is from a
French Flea Market! Oh la la!
It could belong to you!
These vintage glass buttons, glass beads a tiny baroque prism will
be my embellishment. The baroque prism is just under 3/4 of an inch.

My giveaway ends 2/28 and the drawing will be at 8 p.m.

    I can't tell you how much I loved this pincushion. I sort of collect them. Can't wait to make one for myself. However, I thought it would be a wonderful way to use your baby's shoe.
    take care, Beth
