Victorian Gift – Fish PincushionThis is truly an authentic Victorian gift – a fish pincushion. After all, the Victorians loved nature. And fish seemed to be a favor subject for most living in that era. Fish could be seen painted on plaques and mirrors, embroidered on doilies and napkins, pillows were made in their shape, and the list goes on. This pincushion is sure to bring a smile on any true Victorian lover’s face because, well, it’s SO Victorian. This also could be made to use as a Christmas ornament - with or without the pins.

Sew the two together; when one side is sewn, put a little wadding between. When nearly sewn all round, stuff in with the scissors more wadding, if wanted. There should be enough to make the fish look as plump as a real one. If a little powder scent is put in with the wadding it is an improvement. Put on the fins and tail with pins in the manner shown in Fig, 9, and between them, all round the fish, place pins close in.
