stitch club :: 7/2026 :: button garden

say hello to 'button garden'πΏπ our july stitch club pattern features a classic tomato pincushion surrounded by vintage buttons, leafy vines, and twinkling stars. inspired by well-loved sewing baskets and the simple joy of making something by hand.
π
i'm beginning my stitching with the pincushion, using [running stitch/2] for the green dotted lines, and then [back/2] for the 6-pointed 'tomato top' star shape.Β
i used [whipped back/2] for the green string, and i'm also using [whipped back/2] to outline the red tomato.

π i'll be updating this post as i make more stitching progress... stay tuned! π
