Donut Pincushion!



A yummy box of pincushion pastries!!!

 Looks good enough to eat!....but I'm sorry to say, looks can be deceiving. But, hey, they don't have any calories....

Here's a super simple project for those of us who love our sweets but don't want the extra pounds!

STEP 1: Cut the round pieces of the donut from tan felt. Cut two, one for the top, one for the bottom. (Pattern below)


STEP 2: Cut one 'frosting' piece from pale pink felt.



Maybe try making a chocolate donut with chocolate frosting or....?
STEP 3: Stitch the 'frosting' to the top donut piece using a blanket stitch.

STEP 4: Add 'sprinkles'.....any pretty beads that look like 'sprinkles' to you!

STEP 5: Stitch top donut to bottom donut in the center of the donut, using a blanket stitch.  Start stitching top to bottom at outside of donut, using blanket stitch. Stop and stuff  'donut' at intervals, continuing around the donut, until entire donut is stitched and stuffed.

STEP 6: ENJOY!!!


Print 2 copies: One pattern for 6" donut and one for frosting.

  1. Thank you so much for taking the time to post this. If you quilt too, check,out the fatquartershop.com sales for some great quality. It is really nice that people take the time to post things like this. I was given a satin chocolate once and it really was a special gift. :)
