Whew! I’ve been wrapping up unfinished projects left and right all week long. This felt Swiss Army Knife pin cushion has movable tools. I embroidered the Victorinox logo, too. The tools I feltified include a big blade, little blade, combination saw/ruler/hook thingy, and a couple of combination flathead screwdrivers/bottle openers/thingies. Yeah, I don’t know what half of the contraptions in real Swiss Army knives are actually for, but they sure come in handy when I need to diffuse bombs or get into the control panels of runaway robots!
Behold! It can open cans AND hold your stick pins!
The knife opens and closes completely. I even sewed in a little wire corkscrew! To finish the pin cushion, I covered the bottom and sides with a layer of glue and felt so that pins won’t poke through.
Note the streamlined stitches and aerodynamic curves...
Corkscrew = Essential.
This knife isn’t for sale… yet. I may put it on Etsy eventually. But for now, I just want to stare at it, a lot. (Pssst… Did I mention that I heart MacGyver?!)
The Sun can get little too close for comfort down here in Austin – I am a smidge closer to the Equator than I am used to after all. Every once in a while, it’s nice to have some fluffy clouds to break up all this damn sunshine (*waa*). These clouds (yes, there are two of them sewn together…) are available as snap clips, pinch (alligator) clips, French barrettes, and pins.
The hand and mouse pointers are hand embroidered in an 8-bit graphics style. Point, click, BUY!
I also had let my Apple fangirl self loose and make an Apple Felt Fuzzi. But it’s just for meeeeee and not for sale. Sorry, folks.
Ahhh... sweet, sleek, lawsuit-mad Apple.
Don’t worry. Even though I’ve only scratched the surface of stylin’ geek chic felt-y possibilities, I haven’t stopped making other kinds of Fuzzies. Stay tuned!

I just listed a charity auction on eBay (item 250327878283) benefiting Prevent Child Abuse, starting at $0.99! I made a couple of Olivia the Pig Felt Fuzzies hair clips (with the alligator clips) to go along with a brand new boxed set of Olivia Note Cards. 100% of this sale will go towards this fantastic cause – one of which is near and dear to my heart.
Thank you so much for taking the time to look it over!
