The simplest of all the tools for the Toy Chest Etui is the primer, a tiny, flat pincushion.Although the instructions call for skirtex to be inserted in this, I didn't comply. I can't imagine sticking pins into skirtex while working, so made it soft enough to take pins. I just applied interfacing, folded the sides under and attached the back. An easy one.

very nice pin cushion, not heard of skirtex must try and find out about it on google they appear to know everything!
Thanks Margaret. Skirtex is a brandname for a polyester stiffener - comes in sheets about A4. I haven't seen it for sale in Australia. Betsy Morgan provided the bits we needed in the kits. It is very convenient.
It's quite cute, isn't it? I agree with you about the Skirtex, I wouldn't want a stiff pincushion either. Let us know how it works if you decide to use it!
Thanks Monica. Will do.
