The pincushion materials kit will be available here in my shop tomorrow, January 25th, at 10:00 am Central time (11:00 am Eastern, 9:00 am Mountain, 8:00 am Pacific). The sides of the hexies should be 1.5″ wide.īee-Jeweled Pincushion Design Layout (PDF) Kit Reminders The hexies should print at 3″ wide at their widest points. The design should print so that the side panel strip (the long hairy strip) is 9″ long and 1″ high, within the solid lines (so, not counting the seam allowance). If it clips any of the design, it will only be part of the seam allowance. If your printer says some clipping will occur, that’s ok. When you print the PDF, choose “actual size” or “no scaling” so that the design prints the size it’s supposed to be. If you’re going to follow along with this project, go ahead and download the PDF to your computer for printing. Here’s a handy-dandy PDF of the design layout. When we start the lessons for the project, I’ll take you through the transfer process step by step, showing you the tools and methods I used to make the process easy and precise. We’ll be stitching all the embellished parts completely before cutting anything out of the fabric. The layout allows all pieces of the design to fit one piece of fabric in the most economical way. Those lines will be hidden in the seam allowance during construction. Some lines – the short, solid lines on the long side panel – are there to mark out important parts of the design for construction purposes.
The dashed lines represent cutting lines (incorporating seam allowances) and the solid lines represent the marking lines that, for the most part, will be stitched over. The design for the Bee-Jeweled Pincushion is not too complicated, as you can see from the image below. Today, I’m going to share the design layout for the pincushion with you, along with a few pointers and comments and whatnot. Last Friday, I introduced you to our first project, the Bee-Jeweled Pincushion. Good morning, and welcome to the first installment of the Very Official Stitch Snippets series on Needle ‘n Thread.
