Whew! I've been wrapping up unfinished projects left and right all week long. This felt Swiss Army Knife pin cushion has movable tools. I embroidered the Victorinox logo, too. The tools I feltified include a big blade, little blade, combination saw/ruler/hook thingy, and a couple of combination flathead screwdrivers/bottle openers/thingies. Yeah, I don't know what half of the contraptions in real Swiss Army knives are actually for, but they sure come in handy when I need to diffuse bombs or get into the control panels of runaway robots!
Behold! It can open cans AND hold your stick pins!
The knife opens and closes completely. I even sewed in a little wire corkscrew! To finish the pin cushion, I covered the bottom and sides with a layer of glue and felt so that pins won't poke through.
Note the streamlined stitches and aerodynamic curves... ;)
Corkscrew = Essential
This knife isn't for sale... yet. I may put it on Etsy eventually. But for now, I just want to stare at it, a lot. (Pssst... Did I mention that I heart MacGyver?!)
