Yes I know the border isn't finished but I was deciding on colours. I think I like the green better because it's in the image.
Now onto the biscornu.....
I’ve never made a biscornu. My understanding is that they
are very easy to make, but I have never made one. What is their purpose? Are
they a fancy pin cushion? Or just for display?
The reason for all this speculation is that I am going to
make one. Finally! I have picked one of the designs from the carres du printemp
and I am going to make a biscornu! Now I have changed the colours, to something
much brighter and more purple :D.
I have kept with the green but made it a much brighter colour. We shall see how it works out. This only took about an hour so it's stitching up really quickly.
So I have a question for all those that have made or own biscornus what do you do with them??

I received one in an exchange that I use as a pincushion and made a "fifteen" as my end of the exchange, just because I wanted to have a go - No idea what it ended up being used for but my partner in the exchange is a biscornu lover and collects them.
ReplyDeleteI made one in another exchange as a scissor fob - it was tiny :)
The first two I made, my daughter nabbed as cushions for her dolls house.
I'm in the process of making one now as a Christmas tree ornament.
I have lost count of the many I have made. I have used them as pincushions, but mostly for display. I enjoy making them and giving them as gifts.
ReplyDeleteOoh, really liking those penguins they are so cute!! I want to make myself a biscornu cos I'm always losing my needles!!
ReplyDeleteso cute penguin , easy to stitch but realy pretty <3<3<3

<.<u
well i will see your progress
cya!!
Oh man, the penguins are too cute!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good question about the biscornus. I once saw a lady with a bowlful of them for decorations. I've never made one but I have 2 as gifts from friends, and these I keep in my craft drawer so that I see them every time I open said drawer and they remind me of my friends. :)
