Start your pincushion collection with the irresistibly sweet Penelope Pig Pincushion Pattern. Designed to be both adorable and practical, Penelope is made from wool felt and is partially filled with walnut shells, helping to keep your pins and needles sharp while you work. Nearly the entire pincushion is hand sewn, with only the small internal bladder that holds the walnut shells stitched separately. This makes Penelope a perfect to-go project — ideal for hand stitching on the couch, while travelling, or during quiet moments when you just want to slow down and enjoy the process. To make things even easier, you can eliminate tracing altogether by downloading a pattern sheet with full-size templates in the exact quantities needed, available directly from the Cut Loose Press website. Finished at approximately 31⁄2in x 3in x 5in, Penelope Pig is small enough to tuck into a sewing basket, yet full of personality — a cheerful companion for your sewing space or a delightful handmade gift for a fellow maker. Creative Uses A charming and functional pincushion for everyday sewing Perfect hand-sewing project to take on the go Thoughtful handmade gift for stitchers and quilters Lovely addition to a pincushion or sewing room collection Ideal project for enjoying slow stitching with wool felt
