I made a pin cushion last night, in an attempt to organize all of my pins and needles in one place. I got the instructions here. We’re gonna try this one in as few words as possible, cause these pictures speak mostly for themselves.
Find some felt and cotton fabric – preferably some you just have lying around – also preferably some that matches.
Use whatever you’ve got to trace a 5″ circle on both pieces of fabric (a jar, a vase, an old Country Crock bucket … )
Cut ’em out, y’all!
Pin ’em up and sew ’em up. Don’t forget to leave a reverse-y hole.
Flip it and reverse it.
Stuff it like there ain’t no tomorrow. (Seriously, stuff and stuff and then stuff some more!)
Stick a pin in it. You need a long pin and some strong embroidery floss. Serious stuff here, people.
Loop that thread around and around and sew a button on both sides.
Marvel at the cuteness and tell your friends if they ask very nicely, you might make them one too!
