This is a Make-Do . You know...those primitive little objects women made to use up scraps of fabric and things. A few years ago I was in charge of a large craft activity for a group of women and I designed this make-do pinpoke strawberry on a candle holder. I made up kits for the ladies and I had one kit left over. It was taking up space in my sewing room so I made it up and it became the door prize for my quilt guild meeting.
The first Strawberry Pinpoke I designed for me. I used an antique crystal candleholder I purchased at an antique store for just a few dollars. The later kits had this candleholder in them. It came from a craft store. Make do with what you can afford or what you can find.
I love my strawberry make do, and have had it for years. It lives next to my sewing machine and holds a large quantity of pins (for sewing anything and everything).
I love your strawberry make-do! So cute! Maybe it would inspire me to sew:)
ReplyDeleteBonnie--How about a picture of YOUR strawberry make-do? (I love my new one--it looks great next to my sewing machine! Many thanks.) Liz
