Poppy Mattress Pin Cushion

I've been experimenting to find the perfect sewing accessories for years. I decided to make a mattress pin cushion but I knew it wasn't really a tool that I would use a great deal. I came up with the idea of combining a pin cushion, needle rest and scissor holder in one. This is what I made. 

The front features the same Poppy Meadow design that I've used before. It is actually quite unusual for me to sew the same thing repeatedly but I loved the simplicity of the design. 



The sides repeat the pattern around the central poppy.


The back is made from black felt with a pocket that fits my favourite stork scissors. 


The little needle rest is embroidered with the bud from the back of the sewing companion that I showed you yesterday.
