I love
Umbrella Prints, they have such a gorgeous range of screen printed fabrics and when I found out they were having their trimmings competition, I had to enter! When I received my little trimmings pack in the post, I got really excited! I love the colours of this pack!

For the competition you have to make something/s using the contents of a trimmings pack! One thing I have always wanted is a pin cushion... that's right... all these years of sewing and I have never owned a pin cushion.. I know shocking! :) So I thought I would finally make myself one - a sweet little apple pin cushion! I based mine on this
pattern and used some plain cotton/linen as the base fabric. It was really fun to make and I think it turned out really cute!

I also made a little pouch as well! I love the blue and mustard colours together :)

It was really fun to making these out of such lovely fabric! I am really looking forward to seeing what everyone else has created out of their trimming packs!
