Teacup pincushion

You see a lot of pretty vintagey tea cups in the CS's and I have seen them turned into pincushions. They are so pretty...and I always wanted to make one for myself but I haven't found the right tea cup yet until today!

I found this Colclough rosebuds fine bone china teacup for £1 and turned into a pincushion this afternoon. It is a little tall but it turned out ok. Pretty and useful.

I followed this tutorial apart from I hand sewn mine and stuffed it with polyfil and DD's old socks so it's nice and compact but cushy at the top. Embellished it with my left over curtain cords.
