Introducing my latest creation - The Pin Master Always trying to grab a pin when you're sewing?  Never got them close to hand when you need one? Grab yourself the latest sewing accessory and never be looking for a pin again! Designed to wear comfortably as a watch, the Pin Master can be customised for each wearer.  With a choice of fabric colours, the dial reads "Time To Sew".  With pins for watch hands, pretty little buttons, and dinky scissors marking the second hand; this is my latest unique Cajame creation.

What do you think?  This was very much an experiment I hoped would work - and I rather think it does.  An easy to fold gift box made entirely of fabric.  This one features Flower Fairy fabric on the outside, and is lined with pale pink gingham.  As a test version, I simply added wording I already had printed.  I'm thinking in the future that I could personalise each box as required.  Just the right size for a special small gift.  (By the way, ignore the stitching - my tension is completely out on the machine, and was so desperate to see if idea was work, I didn't correct it!) Secured at the top with a little piece of contrasting ribbon and a pretty button, and totally re-usable. I'd be really interested to see what you think of this idea.  I want to put them on Etsy or Folksy, but would like a bit of feedback first.
