Hello,
This is a counted cross stitch pattern and not a manufactured kit, so the items such as the thread, fabric and tin do not come with it. Everything must be purchased separately for this design. However, the thread that is needed for this design is listed right underneath of it. So, if you choose, you can purchase the thread and the pattern at the same time and will have some items to get you started on this project. I am not sure what kind of tin pincushion the designer used for the model. Here is what is on the leaflet of this pattern:
Eastern Bluebird Tin Can Pincushion
Stitch Count: Side Panel: 148w 20H Top: 46W x 46H
If you stitch these on one piece of fabric be sure to leave enough space around them for finishing. Center line marks on the top portion are to help place the bird. The bird is done over one and the enlarged chart is provided.
While surfing another designer’s site I came across some of her’s that had been fabulously finished While going thru the tutorial, as well as the tutorials for other finishing ideas, one became the idea for the Tin Can Pincushions
You can find the tutorial I found here: http://genna-crossstitchandcrochet.blogspot.com/search/label/Tin%20Can%20Pincushion%20Tutorial
Here is the tiny created for this link. I hope I’ve made it easy to remember :) http://tinyurl.com/Tin-Can-Pincushion
I hope this information helps. Thank you :)
