This is just a simple pincushion.


But it has a sucking-disc.


So it is attachable on a sewing machine.


Materials are cloth, felt, paper, sucking-disc and filling.

Butterfly magnet

Magnet cockroach is mischievous and bad taste.
I recommend a butterfly. It's rather easy.



The wings are cloth printed by iron transfer paper.
You can choose any butterfly from web or books.

The body is made of felt and fiberfill.
Bind the neck and attach button eyes.
Its antennas are embroidery threads hardened with some glue.

As a butterfly's body is thin, small magnet is good.
If the magnet is bigger, attach it outside.

Arm cushion

Mini cushions of towel.


My computer table is small, so I have to put my forearms on the edge of the table. These cushions soften a touch of the edge.
Also they absorb sweat.


By the way, blue one is the rest of a towel cat.

Box

An empty box (or can) of cookies or candies is usable as a cabinet for buttons, beads, and other small things.
Such box often has pigeonhole.




If you don't like the patterns of the box, or there is ugly vestige of seal, why not glue beautiful cloth on it?




A box covered with chirimen (Japanese cloth).

Keyboard cover

To protect a keyboard from dust, covering is good.
There is a way to put a handkerchief. Sometimes it may be blown away.

Why not make a cover with paper?
It's easy and disposable.

Fold the 3 sides of paper and glue the corners.
A fitted cover doesn't slip.

Pine cone

Glue colorful beads on a pine cone. It becomes tiny Christmas tree.
Big and symmetrical cone is better.

Tissue cover

Why not cover a simple tissue paper box with a handkerchief?
The hankie is not cut, so you can restore it as before.

I used marking pins. Because I would unwrap it soon.
But it may be danger. Use safety pin, or sew it roughly.

Place a box on diagonally.


Wrap and spread.


Twist a corner to be like a flower.


This is a Nina Rich handkerchief.


Fold the hanky and place a box on.


Wrap the box and spread the sides.

Camera pouch

A pouch of quilted cloth.
Refer to How to make a pouch for making.



Measure your digital camera. Plus 1.5 - 2 inches for margin. Plus 1/4 " for seam allowance.
Fine fabric is good for a lining.





This quilt cloth is the same as Nekomimi hanten.
