Mini Pinnie Cupcake

Mini Pinnies are showing up everywhere! Have you made one yet? This mini cupcake has been one of my favs and will be featured in Make Modern Magazine in the coming year! I thought it would be fun to share with you my pattern and instructions so that you can make one too! It only takes a few scraps of fabric, felt, embroidery thread, and a coin or metal washer.  I'd love to see yours when you finish, so don't forget to tag me on it on IG and please always post where the pattern came from so others can try it too. :) Happy sewing!

I am overjoyed when there are others that would like to create the things that I have made :) The instructions are for the strawberry hexie pinnie and the snail pinnie.  The hexie is paper pieced, so you will need to print out the pattern and the sew onto the paper with the paper pieced method, then sew the entire front onto a back fabric leaving one side open to turn.  Then, stuff with batting and if you like, sew a little ribbon on to the last edge. For the Snail Pinne;  You will need to print out the pattern, then cut out your shapes from the paper.   Place them onto your fa
