  I used to have a tomato-chilli pin cushion like in your photo! Unfortunately I left my sewing box open and BOOM the cat got it. He ripped the chilli off it and then subsequently tore it to shreds afterwards. It was a pain to clean up all that sand that was in it :S

  Hi Wishofhappiness, Thanks for contacting me, sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner, I have been away in Melbourne spending up large on amazing fabrics :) Our BSC meets in Malaga at Sandra’s sewing studio, we have our next meet this Sunday and it is actually our 1 year birthday, if you can’t make that don’t worry, we meet once a month usually on the second weekend. The best way for you to find out more and keep up to date is to visit our ning site and request membership here: http://burdastyleclubs.ning.com/group/bscperthwaaustralia (you can’t see the whole page until you join – it helps control the spammers) then I will add you as a friend and that means I can invite you when I post the new meets and you can see our home page and participate in our discussions (it’s kind of like a mini burdastyle just for the clubs). If you get a bit confused or stuck feel free to email me and I’ll help you through it all bscperthwa@gmail.com, I hope we can meet soon :) Mel xx

  You need 5 meters of black tulle, 1,5 metri black tafetta for underskirt (petticoat) , an elastic band of 5 cm width 1) Cut the tulle in 3 pieces of 50 cm each so it results 3 pieces of 50 cm / 5m:

  2) Cut the taffeta in a semicircle as it is shown in the photo, after you set the fabric in an angle of 45 degrees. (So it can form a triangle)

  3) Sew the margins of the 3 pieces, so they look like three tubes of 50 cm lenght and the 5 meters circle wide. Stitch and sew folds (making ruffles) of the 3 skirts as it is shown in photos. Sew the 3 tulle skirts together.

  4) Sew the margins of the underskirt together and make it a whole :

  5) Sew the two parts (the tulle skirt and underskirt ) resulted together then sew it with the elastic band.. (the elastic band should be sewn ON the skirt ) …ready!
