"Hi, I'm Candi Cane Cannel with Expert Village. So we've completed our little pin cushion doll and I think she's so cute she's just a personal little hand made that would make a fun gift for any seamstress that you know. This would also be a great little project for a beginning sewer. It's very easy just stitching all the way around it and the pattern is very easy and stuffing in. This would be a good project maybe to work with like a child you can even use instead of stuffing you can use rice or even a bean bag. Or as I mentioned before this would also make a great little dog toy and with doll toys, you just always want to keep in mind that you don't want to use anything that can be pulled off or get stuck in your throat or anything. The same principle applies to children. If you are going to be making this doll for a baby then I would just stick with a felt and the embroidery because there is not really any little parts that can be pulled out or anything. But I think she's so fantastic and she's going to look so great as my pin cushion. She's going to look fantastic on my desk so I hope you had as much fun making her as I did."
