It can also rub off on an article of clothing that you are wearing next to it. <br /><br />I was going to ask you, Lady Lydia, if this was due to the quality of the dye I was using, or if it's just the nature of dye. <Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-1126045818621638542010-08-04T05:28:33.289-07:002010-08-04T05:28:33.289-07:00I had never thought of using anything(like cardboa...I had never thought of using anything(like cardboard or your juice can lid) to stabilize the form of anything that was filled with batting. In your pin cushion, it actually gives it a weighted base. Ingenious!<br />I noticed the first of the two patterns you linked to had a robe view.

I had it on layaway for a long time when Wal Mart had the layaway program. I finally brought it home and was always too busy to sit down and watch the instruction video. I am the same way with cooking appliances. I would rather stir it myself than get out the mixers and blenders (and then have to wash them).
