Thank you Nana!

I want to thank everybody for the compliments and comments on my pincushions. If you have any questions please feel free to send me a PM. I haven't had a chance to ask PatricJ about doing a tut yet. I've been very busy trying to get ready for the Tymeless Hearts carnival on the 25th. I will post here when I have a chance to talk to Patric.

Oh my scream'n here those are just too cute.............love the bright fabric...................you keep out doing yourself................calla

Thank you my friend! :-)

They are adorable. Good job

I have been looking while out shopping here but I have not been able to find the jars yet. Are they easy to make?[/quote]
---------------------------
Look in the canning areas of grocery stores. These are the 4 ounce ones for tiny amounts of jam or jelly, though I can't imagine making amounts that small. I suspect these will be used more for crafts than canning. Good for keeping cat treats separate, buttons, etc. Pills maybe?

are those canning jars?

Yes they are. These are the Mason Ball jars, I think the half pint size.

Thank you.

They are so cute. Love the purple one-my favorite color.

Well, missy!!!! I think it's time for a tute!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :-D :-D Those are just the cutest!!!!!

BTW, where did you get those cute little jars? I've never seen jelly jars like that -- or are they jelly jars? :?

Oh they are too cute!!! I would love to learn how to make them for gifts. I'm always in the market for easy but practical gifts.

LOL! They are Ball Mason jars for canning. The half pint size.

After the 25th I will see about doing a tut.
Right now I have company in town and a carnival that I'm getting ready for.
Thank you! I love these. My DH told me to put a shelf in my sewing area to display them instead of selling them. Sometimes I love that man. LOL!

Oh yes, putting them on display would be so fun!!! Love that idea, too.

I would like to buy one

They are $5.00 each. The problem is it costs between $5.00 and $6.00 to ship. The shipping cost is the reason I didn't offer these on the board.

You could always just mail the top. They fit all canning jars.

Now there's an idea!

I make one like this but use a wide mouth pint jar and it is a full sewing kit.

I love those little jars.

Ill wait for your tut.

Mary

Cute pincushions

Your rooster pin cushion is cute too. My friend had made me one.

CUTE !!

PLEASE READ!!!!

Because there is already a tutorial online for these pincushions or similar ones I can not make to a tut on the board.
If you try to make one and have questions then I will be happy to try and help you out. Just send me a PM.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments and interest in these.
BIG HUGS,
Carrie

They are adorable :) I am interested in how to make them as well :) Thanks for sharing with us!

Go up 1 post and there is the link.

real cute Barb

Thanks for the tutorial site.

I bought these same jars to make something similar about 6 months or so ago. Now to go find them.

These are cute.

Carrie I LOVE those!!! Great job - they look adorable!!! I love those low jars too - will be stable when you're reaching behind the machine to put a pin in it. And thanks for posting the link to the tute - I don't have time even to sew lately, but I will bookmark it for a "someday" project!
:D

Girl you rock. These are so pretty. I hope they sell well. They would be nice just to have and not use. You are a very talented lady.Helen

Thank you, thank you very much. :-).
I found that on another forum they were talking about my jars. How cool is that?

Those are so cute!

What a cool idea. Could you at least tell us what you stuff them with? I love them. How much do you sell them for?

They are stuffed with left over batting and I sell them for $5.00 each. :-)

Edited to say: use a poly/cotton batting to stuff these. 100%cotton batting is hard to stick the pins in when rolled up in a ball.

Thank you Hun!

Very cute!

I was thinking,find a small jar that you have around the house that you can use with those kind of twist on lids and rings.I don't know how small they make those lids.Connie in CO
