Every needlewoman tries to keep all hertools in perfect order, sets aside a special place for them, and always puts everything down to the last detail in certain boxes, bags, caskets and jars. Particular attention, as a rule, is given to needles and sewing pins, since they are the smallest and not at all safe parts. It is best to store them stuck, with the sharp end, into something soft, for example, in a special pincushion, which is not at all difficult to make yourself in a variety of ways. This master class will tell you how to sew a felt pincushion in the form of a sweet, delicious cake. So, a do-it-yourself felt pincushion "Sweet cake".

Materials and tools

For work we will need:

sheet felt of pink, crimson, white and green hue;
sintepon or any other suitable excipient;
sewing needle;
floss threads;
a sheet of paper in a box;
A simple pencil;
line;
scissors.

Description of work

1.Let's start with the fact that on a regular notebook sheet of squared paper, using a simple pencil and a ruler, we will make a sketch of the upper and lower parts of the cake in the form of a triangle. Since both parts will be absolutely identical, it is enough to draw only one triangle. It should be sharp with equal sides. Next, we cut out the drawn triangle along the contour and, using the resulting template, cut out two necessary parts from pink felt.2.Then take the raspberry felt and cut out a strip 2.5-3 cm wide and the length equal to the length of all three sides of the previously made triangles. Fold this strip in half widthwise and sew it from the wrong side using an overlock stitch.3.Now we start assembling our cake, first we take the first triangle and apply to one of its sides, a previously sewn strip of raspberry felt. So that the extreme lower corner of the triangle and the inner seam of the strip coincide. Then, armed with a needle and pale pink floss threads, we sew the edge of the strip and one of the sides of the triangular piece together, using small overlock stitches.4. Using the same principle, we sew the remaining sides of the triangle with the strip, resulting in the bottom of the cake.5.Before sewing the top part of the pincushion, cut out a strip of white felt, the length of which is equal to three sides of the triangle, and about 1 cm wide, and fold it several times, cutting out waves on one side along the edge. Then apply the resulting part along the entire length of the raspberry strip, connect it all to one side of the second triangular part and sew, also using pale pink floss threads with an overlock stitch.6.Before sewing the last side of the pincushion, we stuff it with padding polyester, we try to distribute the filling inside as evenly as possible so that our cake has the correct shape. Then we sew the remaining hole.7. This is the delicious felt pincushion cake we get.8.To decorate the cake, we will make a beautiful rose. To do this, we will take raspberry-colored felt, cut out a circle from it, about 5 cm in diameter, and then make a cut on the circle, 7-9 mm long, and cut out a strip of the same width around the circle.9.We will roll the cut out strip into a roll, as a result of which we will get a rosebud, which we will fasten from the bottom side with a needle and thread with several wide stitches. We will also cut out leaves for the flower from pieces of green felt, in our case it is two shades.10. Sew the rose with leaves to the cake with hidden stitches. You can place the flower as you like, we decided that it would look good in the narrow part of the triangle.11. This is the original felt pincushion "Sweet Cake" that we got. Now your needles and pins will always be in place.
