This is the cutest pincushion. The pattern is by Manuela of Join the mood
Warning: the spout and handle were difficult to turn inside out. I had to make the handle twice and make the tube slightly larger. In frustration I forgot to add the embellishments around the middle and top. Printing the pattern at 110% may make it easier to turn.
Still it’s a little pretty teapot!

Materials
Do the same with the blue squares.
Now cut
h
Cut the same pieces in the red tone contrasting fabric.
Place both panels right sides facing together and pin the bottom of the square as per photo and stitch along the pinned seam.
You will end up with one single piece as per photo below.
Cut a rectangle 10 1/4 in x 12 1/2 in in a blue tones fabric.
Pin to the blue side panel and stitch.
Do the same with the other panel.
Now fold in half and pin to the panel on the inside as per photo.
Stitch along the pinned line. Do the same with the other side.
Tie
Cut one long strip 29 in x 5 in. Fold in half right side together. Pin and make a cut on each ending as per picture.
Stitch along the edge leaving a 3 in opening to turn inside out. Turn inside out and top stitch along all sides of the tie.
Attach tie to the bag
Fold tie in half to find the middle of the tie and place a pin on it. Then find the middle of the top rectangle sidewise and longwise as per photo.
Pin tie in place making a small fold as per picture. Sew through the fold a couple of times.
Adding batting and lining
Cut a piece of batting 10 1/4 x 25 inches and a piece of lining 10 1/4 x 26 inches.
Place batting on top of the rectangle and add the lining on top. On the edges, cover the batting with the lining as per picture and pin in place.
Quilting
You are ready to quilt the triangle now.
I quilted both sides in a different way using diagonal lines on the blue side.
And straight lines on the red side.
Fold the rectangle in half right sides together and pin the sides as per picture.
Stitch both sides.
The bag is done.
To hide the seams that may be visible on the top part of the bag, choose a ribbon and place over the seam. Stitch ribbon to the fabric.
Detail of tie. The tie is tied around the neck of the bottle.
