    Worked on it and it looks so much better. Even though I cut the elastic shorter it was still too loose. Then decide to sew it shorter and it's much better.

    This didnt turn out how I wanted it to. Will be remaking it, but not anything time soon Issues: 1. Its too thin so the pins come through and can prick me. 2. It doesnt look like a flower. Think I wasnt pulling it tight enough. 3. I think the bold colours clash too much. Will be using different thread and a different colour button. Thinking I might use a different fabric too. 4. Using a shank button made it more difficult. Have bought a different button. 5. The wrist band is too loose for me. Will need to tighten it.

    I'm not happy with how it looks. Definitely need more filling. It doesn't look like a flower really. Wasn't able to pull the thread tight to make the sections I think the green thread and the black and gold button are too much with the bold pattern. The strap is a bit too loose for where I want to place it. Will be either doing it or changing things I mentioned. Haven't decided yet

    Things learnt today. Sewing in a circle is more complicated than one would assume. Decided that this Pincushion is my toile. Go very slow with the circle. We'll pivot alot and that's okay. Make sure the pattern markings are NOT the same colour as the fabric. This was hilarious to realise. Sometimes following the steps you wrote down doesn't make sense. It's okay to watch the tutorials again Still enjoying myself. Also, after sewing the circle, cut the circle out. Forgot to add this step

    One tip from someone was to cut squares, draw the circle, sew over the line, and then cut it rather than cutting the circles before sewing Also to make a tunnel for the elastic instead of having it just elastic
