• Aqua wool 10” x 16” (from the Aunt Grace collection)
• Lime wool scraps (from the Brights collection)
• 16” aqua ombre wired ribbon, 1 ½”-wide
• Scraps of Tie-Dye Velvet, pink & green
• Assorted beads, rhinestones, embellishment yarns
• 8” x 10” piece of aqua tulle
• Matching thread

1. Cut out wool pieces, including leaves and glove trim.
2. Pin ‘glove opening cover’ to top of one glove piece. Stitch ¼” from raw edges, leaving ¼” unstitched at beginning and end of curved edge.
3. Place glove pieces right sides together, and stitch around sides and fingers, leaving top open. Do not stitch ‘glove opening top.’ Clip angles of fingers.
4. Pin glove opening cover to opposite side of glove, and stitch at both ends, ¾”, leaving center open for turning. Turn right side out carefully.
5. Top-stitch the finger lines as indicated on the pattern.
6. Stuff the glove firmly. When stuffing the fingers, use small bits of stuffing at a time, to avoid lumps. Note: A hemostat is a wonderful tool for stuffing fingers.
7. When stuffing is complete, stitch the opening closed.
8. Randomly place pieces of the embellishment yarns on the top part of the hand, ending where the fingers begin. Note pattern for placement.
9. Lay the piece of tulle over the top of the yarns. This helps to keep them from moving around while you are beading.
10. Use a needle and thread to attach the beads on top of the tulle. I bead the areas that have the yarn to help keep it in place.
11. When beading is complete, trim around the edges of the tulle, leaving about ¼” extra. Turn the extra under and stitch it to the side and top seams of the glove, as well as the curved area above the fingers, noting the pattern.
12. Stitch a piece of yarn to the scalloped edge of the glove trim, and stitch it to the glove as shown.
13. Gather the ribbon (if the ribbon is wired, just make a knot at one end of the wire, and use the wire to gather the ribbon. Pull gently so the wire doesn’t break. Stitch the ribbon to the top seam where the glove and glove opening cover meet.
14. Overlap the ribbon ¼” at the side seam, fold the raw edges inside, and stitch the ends of the ribbon together so the raw edges are inside.
15. Cut four flowers from the pink areas of the velvet, and use a running stitch to gather each flower tightly. The gathered edge will be the bottom of the flower.
16. To make the leaves, place the leaves on the right side of the velvet and stitch through both layers, 1/8” from the edge of the wool. Make seven leaves.
17. Trim the velvet, then make a slit in the wool. Turn right side out and finger press.
18. Embellish the lower edge of the beaded area, by stitching the flowers and leaves overlapping the green wool trim. Repeat for the top of the glove, overlapping the ribbon ruffle.
19. Use fabric glue to attach a rhinestone to each of the green wool scallops.
20. Stitch a large pearl bead to the center of each flower, and enjoy your pin cushion!

Trace the top of the lid to a piece of wool and cut out the circle for the lid. Measure the outside edge of the lid, from top to bottom; Measure the lid circumference, and add ½”. This measurement will be the cover for the lid edge. Proceed with the following instructions.

1. Use the acrylic paint to cover the inside, and 1 ¼” of the top outside edge of the box. Paint the bottom, and the inside and outside of the lid. When dry, brush on a second coat.
2. When the paint is dry, in a well-ventilated area, spray the painted surfaces and let the box dry.
3. Place embellishment yarns randomly, on the surface of the aqua wool.
4. Place the tulle over the top and pin in place.
5. Stitch beads, randomly, over the surface of the yarns and tulle, through all layers, to attach it to the wool.
6. Fold the excess tulle over to the back and pin in place. Stitch a piece of yarn or trim to both of the long edges of the wool, to finish the edges.
7. Use the fabric glue to adhere the wool to the lower edge of the box. Overlap the end of the wool (do not glue), and hand-stitch in place.
8. Stitch a piece of trim to one of the long edges of the dark rose wool. Glue the wool to the outside edge of the lid, with the trim at the lower edge of the lid. The wool will go over the top of the box, just a fraction of an inch. Do not trim excess wool. Stitch the overlapped edge of wool in place.
9. Place the lid up-side-down on the piece of light rose wool and trace with a pencil. Cut out the wool, then cut out a piece of thin cotton batting ½” smaller than the wool circle.
10. Use the fabric glue to adhere the batting to the top of the lid.
11. Glue the wool over the batting, applying glue lightly over the batting so the wool will stick to the batting.
12. Use a needle and matching thread to stitch the lid cover to the edges, using a whip stitch.
13. Cut a 5 ¼” circle from the tag board.
14. Cut a 7 ½” circle from the piece of lime green wool. Use a needle and thread to make a running stitch ¼” from the edge.
15. Place a fist-size piece of batting in the center of the green wool, then place the tag board circle on top, centering the tag board over the green wool circle.
16. Pull the threads to gather the green wool around the tag board circle. Pull tight and see if you need to add a bit more stuffing.
17. Stitch a knot to hold the gathers in place and use hot glue to adhere the padded circle to the center of the lid.
18. Pull the wire, along the blue edge of the ribbon, to gather the ribbon to fit around the edge of the padded circle. Glue in place, overlapping the ribbon edges ¼”.
19. Create 10 leaves and six flowers, from velvet. See Glove pin cushion, Steps 15-17. Stitch a bead in the center of each flower.
20. Hot glue the flowers and leaves to the center of the padded circle.
21. Use fabric glue to attach rhinestones around the outside edge of the padded circle.
