Cloth Mannequin Jewelry Holder/Pin Cushion

Reader Submission for the Pinstrosiversary Challenge:
Hi, I'm Serena. I am a housewife in San Diego and craftaholic. I like to find things in stores, online, or out and about and try to recreate them, just because I can. I want to say to sell them but I either hate them after or love them and hoard them (my precious's). But here is a lovely like item I have made to sell at the craft fairs this year. Here is the original pin, http://www.thediydish.com/2011/10/season-4-how-to-make-a-dress-form-mannequin-pin-cushion/. It is a DIY cloth mannequin jewelry holder/pin cushion. I think mine turned out rather well. I look forward to making many and hopefully selling some, if I can pry my hands off them. The original pin has a great tutorial, and I followed it to the letter. These are super easy and can be used for all kinds of parties, even as a takeaway. Make them in advance and have a girls night, either with kids or grown adults to stuff and decorate.
