How sweet are these Toadstool Cottage and Mushroom House Pincushions?

I think they would look so gorgeous lined up on a dresser in different sizes and with different embroidered details. Or how about making them in to ornaments? Give-aways? How about enlarging the pattern and making a toadstool 1 or 2 feet tall for your child’s bedroom?
So versatile and sure to add a little bit of whimsy into your home!

This softie is large, cushy, and fits perfectly in your arms. It’s definitely one to snuggle up to, so the name “Snoogem” is very fitting!

This softie is another great project for beginners and is quick to sew up. You can embellish it like crazy or keep it minimal and simple as in the example above.

Kootoyoo provides an excellent step-by-step tutorial on how to make a Toadstool Pincushion. I know this tutorial is about making a Pincushion but you could easily adapt it into a softie too.

Not only does she provide an easy to follow slide-show but it’s also available in PDF.
This would be a great beginner’s project and a creative way to use up scraps. They would look very cute in a bunch in different colours.
