Stitch up a sweet fairy tale inspired cross stitch pincushion with this pattern by Tiny Modernist. The pincushion is stitched in two pieces: a round top and a rectangular strip to make the sides. You can finish it as a pincushion as shown in the model, or fashion it into a little trinket box. You can also just stitch the round part and finish it in a hoop.
The pattern includes a link to the designer's website for instructions on how to make the pincushion. This pattern is part of a 12-month series that will be released throughout 2021. You can choose to stitch the round designs as a full sampler instead of individually. A link to a free border and layout is included in the pattern.
The design is available as a printed hardcopy pattern.
