Baby Blocks/Pincushions

Have you ever thought that there must be an easy way to make a cube, but never been sure just how to do it?

I'll explain it for you.

Step One: Cut out six squares of fabric the same size. I used a coaster as my template.

Step Two: Sew four together in a line. You may want to stitch it a few times to ensure it is secure.

Step Three: Sew the two ends of your line together.

Step Four: Turn your joined squares inside out. Pin a square to the bottom and stitch all the way round a few times. Repeat this stage to attach the top square, but remember to leave and opening so that you can turn your cube the right way out, and so that you can stuff it.

Step Five: Turn your cube the right way out. Now, stuff it with scraps of wadding. You can fit in about 3 times you think you'll be able to!

Step Six: Have fun admiring your new creation. You could make for a baby you know to play with, or you could use it as a pin cushion. Don't use it for both purposes, though!

I made another one to use as a pincushion and put it in a hand painted ceramic box.

Cute, huh?

See you soon! :)
