This is a quick and easy make and is a fun ‘upcycling’ way of using an old china tea cup
What you will need:
- Vintage tea cup
- Any fabric, we have used some pink gingham
- Stuffing
- A small button
- Lace
- Thin ribbon
- Sewing machine
Step 1
Fold your strip of fabric in half and draw around your tea cup with some tailor chalk, or a pencil. Pop a pin in place and then cut around the circle.
Step 2
With your two circles you need to place the lace carefully in between the two pieces of fabric. Use a pin and gradually go around the circle gathering it up as you go.
Step 3
Machine around the circle, being careful when you go over the pins. Leave a gap of around 2 inches and break off the cotton.
Step 4
Turn the fabric inside out to reveal the lacy circle and the stuff the insides with your stuffing.
Step 5
Finish off by hand, sewing up the hole and making sure the lace gets tucked into as well.
Step 6
Make a bow with your thin ribbon and attach to the middle of your pin cushion using a needle and thread
Step 7
Thread a button through the cotton and finish off attaching it.
