I really love making pincushions, so quick and cute.
Mine is a little more quirky then the book version, but it feels very ‘me’ so I would say that’s a success!
I used Essex linen in dusty blue and a few bright prints from my scrap bin.
I read several years ago about stuffing your pincushions with steel wool to help keep your pins sharp. I just happened to have some under my sink so I tried it out. Does seem to do the trick!
Checking this one off the list!

Very cute pin cushion! Thanks for the tip on steel wool. I have been looking for this exactally this tip.
Isn’t the steel wool sharp – looks lovely tho!
This is so lovely. It is amazing what a few of our favourite scraps can turn into. Nice work.
absolutely adorable!!!!!!!!!!!! great gift item!
Goodness that’s cute. Must get me some steel wool. I was wondering how to sharpen my pins.
Cool, love the wee ruffly bit
Nice to make something for yourself, eh? I use crushed walnuts for the stuffing – not sure whether it sharpens the pins, though, but it does a great job at holding them in place – nice, solid feeling.
Emory sand does the trick t00, but is quite a bit heavier!
Definitely going to have to try the steel wool trick…
Love how bright and cheery this is.. especially the sweet little ruffle!
