Great info, everyone -- thanks so much. Love the pictures -- very motivating.
When you use sand, do you put it in something before you cover it with fabric? Does it leak out after awhile? Or do you put a layer of fiberfill over the sand?

Thanks for the pics. I've also seen a mini-pincushion made with napkin rings as the base.

I use batting pieces and ground corn cobs together. The corn cobs make the bottom flat and are available in pet supply stores. Have also stuffed one or two with thread pieces accumulated from trimming threads.
