tiny fabric flower hairpins, handsewn from thrifted fabrics and vintage buttons. i made an army of them to contribute to the sampler, and i couldn't resist sharing them here. they make me happy.

and a question, which may be a bit odd:
i want curved needles, for handsewing stuffies and embroidering 3D forms. thin like a sewing needle, but curved like a tapestry needle... except that the only curved needles anyone has ever heard of are tapestry needles, and those are much too thick and cumbersome. i am thinking that maybe they make curved sewing or embroidery needles for making stuffed bears? but i wouldn't even begin to know what to ask for. so... any help? have you heard of such a thing? what's it called?

thank you!
