The Felt Babushka Pin Step-by-Step

Following the post earlier this week, I a, going to show you step by step how the Felt Babushka Pin was made.

Firstly you need 3 templates for body, head scarf and face.

Using different colors for the 3 components, cut out felt pieces. You need two for the body.

Arranging face, head scarf and front body piece, sew the face on with white thread.

Cut two pieces of black zigzag ribbon.

Sew the two ribbons on the body, tugging the ribbon ends under the head scarf part.

Using red thread, sew on the head scarf bottom edge. While you're at it you can embroider a mouth with the red thread.

Embroider the eyes and, using green thread embroider a flower stem on the belly. As a blossom you can add a small glass bead.

Now you can start to sew the back on. When you are 2/3 around the perimeter, you can fill cotton into the plush pin.

Finish off the seam.

Now you can add the pin on the back.

And you are done!

The Babushka Felt Pin

One fast and cute project: I made a babushka brooch made with felt, cotton filling and two small glass beads for the flowers on the belly.
