Description Update: When I made this I didn't realize I was starting in the middle of things. Stayed tuned for Part One

Curious about what I ended up doing to correct the error of my wrongly created first time biscornu? Well, with my nifty new camera and some patience I show you moment by moment how to "fix" some issues I had.

It's too bad I didn't have the step by step pictures of how I messed up to begin with!

Now you can see just how easy it really is. Don't be afraid to try now!

You are welcome, I still have to show the starting part, this was just one that shows how I fixed what I messed up. How you start the whip stitch is just as important or more so since it lines everything up

what is a Biscornu?

Mattsma In reply to Jingko [2012-05-26 19:08:41 +0000 UTC]

A biscornu is a small, 8-sided, stuffed ornamental pincushion from a French adjective, meaning skewed, quirky or irregular. I've been asked quite a bit lately and I always laugh because what it comes down to is a that it is a really pretty pin cushion

For beginners starting from scratch, I used this fabulous (picture loaded!) tutorial for my first try. [link] It also has lots of links to free patterns and stuff, well worth bookmarking.

And your first biscornu is lovely, btw.

THAT is what I should have been looking at to begin with! Thank you for sharing that. I'm still going to do a quick tutorial from start to where the current tutorial starts so everyone can see the beginning portion, but I will certainly link that link in the description section. Thank you!

Super helpful, thank you for postin this.

Mattsma In reply to pinkythepink [2012-05-26 18:58:43 +0000 UTC]

You are welcome, it doesn't have where to start sewing the top and bottom together so I will have to do an entire beginning to end which will probably help more than this one did

Thats a brilliant tutorial carla, and I have to tell you I am hopeless at written instructions, I need pictures lol, lovely clear shots too.

Thank you! The link I provided had pictures but some of them were blurry, so I figured some clear shots of what I was doing would be lovely. I'm so glad you like the tutorial. Pictures make me happy.

The biscornu are beautiful and I so want to make one when I get time, so a good tutorial is a gem.

The cross stitch takes no time at all, and honestly, it really is one of those INSTANT GRATIFICATION projects. Like a little kit you buy and do in two hours. The end result tho is something gorgeous. I think I may have gotten a few of my girls here interested and ready to try it! See what I mean??? Strangely addictive
