No bake slice of cake pincushion...

The finished results for my slice of cake pin cushion: Left a side view, Right a view from above.

       This pincushion is easy to sew and makes a charming gift! You can change the way it looks easily by using multiple colors.

Supply List: 

  • a variety of scrap ribbons
  • white felt
  • stuffing, the denser the better
  • faux white fur that looks like fluffy icing

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1.  First, you will need to cut two long triangles the same size from felt for the top and bottom of the pincushion. 
  2. Then cut a wide felt band to attach around the outside edges of both triangles from felt as well. 
  3. Leave a small 1 inch opening to stuff the shape firmly with soft batting or lint from a dryer. Stuff the shape as tightly as possible without loosing it's general silhouette.
  4. Now attach the faux "icing" to the top and the back side of the cake slice with a whip stitch.
  5. The bottom of the cake will stay unadorned.
  6. Snip, and trim the layers of ribbon with hand-stitching on both sides of the cake.
Left and Center, the slice of cake stuffed felt shape. Right, the ribbon sewn on.

Pincushion Dolls

Left, my newest pincushion. A stuffed bear who's tongue extends to reveal a tape measure.

My favorite pincushion was given to me when I was very young.
A half doll attached to a 'skirt' pincushion; she still sits on my bedroom dresser.
Right, is an antique hooked pin cushion that belonged to my mother-in-law

         A pincushion is a small cushion, typically 3-5 cm across, which is used in sewing to store pins or needles with their heads protruding so as to take hold of them easily, collect them, and keep them tidy. Many of these are shaped into miniature dolls, animals or basic shapes.
       Pincushions are typically filled tightly with stuffing, so as to hold pins rigidly once placed. The stereotypical design - a tomato with a strawberry attached - seems to have been around forever but, most likely, was introduced during the Victorian Era. Typically, the tomato is filled with wool roving to prevent rust, and the strawberry is filled with an abrasive to clean the pins and keep them from snagging fabrics.

Native American Pincushions:
My favorite pincushion is a half doll (above) that was given to me by my great aunt. I’ll include links of these prickly beauties below. Some of them have been dismantled. With the price of needles these days, it’s no wonder. One must, from time to time, retrieve the lost and buried just to pinch a few pennies!

The Little Red Doll House

The home of our Popover family.
         There  was  once  a  Little  Red  Doll  House  that stood  in  the  attic  under  the  sloping  roof. And in the  Doll  House  there  lived  a  family  named Popover. There  was  Mr.  Popover  and  Mrs. Popover  and  Velvetina  Popover  and  Baby  Popover,  whose  long  name  was  Loo-Loo.
       Mr.  Popover  was  a  clothes-pin,  tall  and  slim and  brown.  His  head  was  small,  but  his  legs were  long,  and  of  them  he  was  very,  very  proud.
       Mrs.  Popover  was  a  little  china  doll.  Her flaxen  hair  was  thick  and  curly,  and  she  wore  a pretty  blue  dress  that  matched  her  pretty  blue eyes.
       Velvetina  Popover  was  a  little  girl  doll.  She was  dressed  in  a  frock  made  of lovely pink velveteen, and  of  course  that  is  why  she  was  called Velvetina.  Her  yellow  hair  was  long  and tightly curled,  and  her  little  red  mouth  and  pink  cheeks were  the  prettiest  ever  seen.  She  wore neat black  painted  boots  and  her  socks  had  a  band  of blue  about  the  tops.
       Baby  Popover  was  a  chubby  glass  bottle, smooth  and  long  and  round.  He  wore  a  little white  cape  and  a  white  pointed  cap  tied  over the  cork  that  made  his  head.  He  lay  in  a  little wooden  cradle,  as  snug  as  could  be,  and  he  was never  so  good  and  quiet  as  when  some  one was rocking  him  to  and  fro.
       The  Popovers  lived  happily  together  in  the Little  Red  Doll  House.  Long,  long  ago  there had  been  a  little  girl  named  Amelia  who  had played  with  them  every  day.  Then  the  Doll House  had  stood  downstairs  and  the  Popovers had  led  a  very happy  life  indeed. Often  Amelia had  played  so  hard  with  the  Popovers  that  if she  had  not  gone  to  bed  at  night  and  given  her dollies  a  rest,  I  do  not  know  what  they  would have  done.
       It  was  Amelia who had named  them  Popover because  popovers were her favorite  kind  of muffin,  and,  besides, she thought  Popover  one of  the  prettiest names she  had  ever  heard.
       Amelia  loved all the Popover  family  dearly. She  thought Mr. Popover  a  fine-looking  father. She  liked  the way he stood  so  straight  and  tall. She thought Mrs. Popover  the   nicest   little mother a doll family could  have. She  made aprons  for her by the dozen out of bits of white cambric. And when Mrs.  Popover  in  a  clean was put down  beside  the  Baby's cradle to rock him to sleep, Amelia would be so delighted that very likely she would clap her hands and whirl about until she lost her breath. She was that kind of little girl, you see.
       As for Velvetina in her lovely pink frock, which was made from a scrap of a sofa cushion, when Amelia first thought of Velvetina'a name all she could sass was,
       "Oh,  how  I  wish  my  name  was  Velvetina Popover instead  of  Amelia  Lamb!''
       The  Baby,  too, Amelia loved with all her heart.  He  was  so plump, so comfortable to play with and  fitted  so nicely into the little cradle  that  rocked beside Mr. and Mrs Popover's big gilt bed.
       Amelia never tired of playing with the Popovers in their Little Red House.
       But  by  and  by Amelia grew from a little girl into a lady.  Her  name  was  now  Mrs.  Green. And  since  a  lady  has  other  things  to  do  than  to play  with  dolls,  no  matter  how  fond  of  them  she may  be,  the  Little  Red  Doll  House  with  the Popover  family  inside  had  been  carried  up into the attic.
       'But  I  like  to  live  in  the  attic,'  said  cheerful Mrs.  Popover  one  day  when  they  were  talking things  over. 'Of  course  I  miss  Amelia,  but it is quiet  and  good  for  the  Baby  up  here.'
       'I like  it  in  the  attic  too,'  said  manly  Mr. Popover.  'There  is  plenty  of  room  for  me  to walk about  and  stretch  my  legs.'
       'I  like  it  in  the  attic'  said  Velvetina,  'but sometimes  I  wish  I  were  downstairs  again  and that there  was  a  little  girl  to  play  with  me.'
       As  for  the  Baby,  Loo-Loo,  he  said  nothing  at all,  but  lay  in  his  cradle  and  smiled  sweetly  as his  mother  rocked  him  to  and  fro.
       'You  are  not  lonely  in  the  attic,  Velvetina?' asked  Mrs.  Popover.  'Think  how  pleasant  it  is, spring  and  fall,  when  the  attic  is  opened  and cleaned.'
       Indeed  it  was  pleasant,  twice  a  year,  when Mrs.  Green,  who,  you  remember,  was  once little  Amelia,  and  her  maidservant  Caroline came  up  into  the  attic  with  brooms  and  pails and  brushes  and  mops  to  give  the  room  a  thorough cleaning.  The  windows  were  flung  open and  the  soft  spring  air  or  the  brisk  autumn breezes,  whichever  it  might  be,  filled  every corner  of  the  long  low  room.  The  floor  was scrubbed  until  it  glistened.  Every  trunk  and box  was  opened  and  aired.  And  last  of  all Mrs.  Green  sat  down  on  the  floor  before  the Little  Red  Doll  House  and  carefully  cleaned and  dusted  and  set  it  in  order  as  neat  as  a  pin.
       Yes,  the  Popovers  enjoyed  the  bustle  of  the spring  and  fall  house-cleaning.  All  winter  long they  looked  forward  to  the  spring.  Through  the hot  summer  days  they  talked  of  the  coming of  fall.  But  best  of  all  they  liked  to  see  Mrs. Green  again  and  to  know  that  she  had  not  forgotten them.  And  no  doubt  Mrs.  Green  was  as glad  to  see  the  Popover  family  as  they  were  to see  her.
       'No,  Mother,  indeed  I  am  not  lonely,'  was Velvetina's  reply  to  Mrs.  Popover's  question. 'And  I  like  it  in  the  attic,  too,  because  of Peanut.  He  promised  to  take  me  for  a  ride  tonight on  his  back  as  far  as  the  big  trunk  in  the corner  and  home  again.'
       Peanut  was  a  little  mouse  who  lived  in  the attic  not  far  from  the  Popovers.  He  was  a friendly  little  fellow  who  spent  many  an  evening in  the  Popovers'  parlor  telling  them  of  what went  on  downstairs,  for  of  course  he  could  run, as  he  liked,  all  over  the  house.
       'Mr.  and  Mrs.  Green  are  giving  a  party,'  he would  say. 'Perhaps  I  can  bring  up  a  bit  of  the cake  to  you  after  they  have  all  gone  to  bed.'
       'Mrs.  Green  is  thinking  of  house-cleaning,'  he would  tell  them  too.  'I  heard  her  say  to  Caroline that  she  would  begin  in  the  attic  next  week.'
       And  in  return  Mrs.  Popover  would  tell  stories of  Mrs.  Green  when  she  was  little  Amelia,  and Mr.  Popover  would  tell  tales  of  what  happened when  he  was  a  boy.
      'Yes,  sir,'  Mr.  Popover  would  say,  'I  used  to hold  the  clothes  on  the  line  when  I  was  a  boy. I  used  to  hold  handkerchiefs  and  dresses  and sheets  and  pillow-cases  and  many  other  things as  well.  I  remember  how  blue  the  sky  was,  and how  the  wind  would  blow  and  make  the  clothes flap  on  the  line.  But  I  never  let  go;  I  held  the clothes  fast.  I  was  a  good  worker  when  I  was  a boy,  a  very  good  worker  indeed.'
       That night  the  Popovers  were  expecting Peanut  to  spend  the  evening.  It  was  twilight in  the  attic.   Out-of-doors  the  sun  had  not  yet  gone  down.  They  sat  waiting  for  Peanut,  listening for  the  scratch,  scratch,  scratch  in  the wall  that  would  tell  them  he  was  near.
       The  attic  was  quiet  in  the  dusk,  as  quiet  as could  be.  Mrs.  Popover  was  peacefully  rocking Loo-Loo  to  and  fro.  Mr.  Popover  was  looking down  at  his  legs  and  thinking  how  long  and straight  they  were.  Velvetina  was  hoping  that she  would  have  a  pleasant  ride.
       Suddenly  there  was  a  loud  scratching  in  the wall  that  made  every  one  jump.  Then  came  a rustle  and  a  squeak,  and  from  behind  a  box sprang  Peanut.  His  black  eyes  sparkled  and his whiskers  stood  out  straight  and  stiff  with excitement.  He  was  so  out  of  breath  that  he couldn't speak.
       Mrs.  Popover  caught  up  a  fan  and  waved  it briskly  to  and  fro.  She  bade  Velvetina  run quickly  for  a  glass  of  water.  And  after  a  few  sips of  water  and  a  moment's  rest,  Peanut  was able to  tell  them  the  great  news.
       'There  is   a  little  girl  downstairs,'  gasped Peanut.  'She  has  come  to  stay.  She  has brought  a  trunk.  She  calls  Mrs.  Green  Aunt Amelia,  and  before  she  had  taken  off  her  hat she  said,
       'Aunt  Amelia,  where  is  the  Doll  House  you told  me  you  had  when  you  were  a  little  girl?"
       'And  Mrs.  Green  said, "It  is  in  the  attic,  Ellen.  Take  off  your  hat and  coat  and  we  will  go  up  and  see  it."
       'They  are  coming  up  to  the  attic  now.  I  can hear  their  voices.  I  hear  their  feet  on  the stairs. I  must  hide.'
       Yes,  there  was  the  sound  of  voices  and  the noise  of  feet  on  the  stairs.  The  Popovers  could hear  the  feet  coming  nearer  and  nearer  and nearer.  And  before  Mrs.  Popover  could  take Loo-Loo's  thumb  out  of  his  mouth  or  twitch Velvetina's  curls  in  place,  the  top  of  the  stairs was reached  and  a  little  girl  ran  into  the  room.
       Straight  to  the  Little  Red  Doll  House  she came  and  stood  looking  eagerly  in  with  round blue  eyes.  
       ' Aunt  Amelia,  Aunt  Amelia!'  said  the  little girl  at  last,  pressing  her  hands  tightly  together for  joy,  'this  is  the  most  beautiful  Doll  House I  have  ever  seen.'
       'I  am  glad  you  like  my  Doll  House,  Ellen,' answered  Mrs.  Green,  smiling  down  at  both Ellen  and  at  her  old  friends,  the  Popovers,  too. 'We  must  go  to  dinner  now.  But  I  will  have  it carried  downstairs  for  you  tomorrow,  if  you like.'
       This  pleasant  news  made  the  little  girl  Ellen, in  her  turn,  smile  happily  all  over  her  round, rosy  face.
       And,  as  she  went  down  the  stairs,  if  she  had looked  back  into  the  attic,  Ellen  would  have seen  the  Popover  family  smiling  too.
       'How  glad  I  am  this  little  girl  has  come!  She is  going  to  be  even  more  pleasant  than house-cleaning,'  said  Mrs.  Popover  with  a  nod.
       And  you  shall  see  whether  or  no  Mrs.  Popover  was  right. by Ethel Calvert Phillips
