Porc and Beans (porcupine pincushion)

Believe it or not, as long as I have been sewing I've never had a pincushion. I just put my pins back into the tiny plastic box they came in. It's silly, really. I see the tomato looking ones at the fabric store, but they seem so hum drum to me, and I just couldn't bring myself to buy one (despite the fact that they are super cheap). I found this pattern on Prudent Baby and filed it away for later (aka- pinned it to a board on Pinterest. Don't know what I'm talking about? read this post.)

Saturday night we rented a movie (wish it was a romcom, it wasn't) and I whipped this little guy up while we watched.

I think he's pretty cute!
