I just made my first pincushion in about five minutes after I picked out and cut the 4 squares, I love it and how simple. I bought a Stanley Tool Box today to use as a sewing kit' ( Walmarts $15,.00, 1/2 the price of a real sewing kit ), it is about 19 inches long by 9 inches wide and came with a smaller box inside to holed all my threads and needles, with 2 smaller compartments on the outside of the lid for bobbins and such, and I am going to Velcro the pincushion to the inside lid to be used for my pins. Great video. Thx Leslie
This was a lifesaver. I spent hours making a little notions tote and wanted to put a pincushion in the bottom. This was perfect, cute and quick! Thanks.
Cute, use 1/4" presser foot or edge of your regular foot. Crushed walnuts are better filling as they keep pins sharp. Crushed walnuts can be purchased at petco or pet smart...cheaper thete than a quilt shop
Just found this - from 2013! One project I make a lot of requires 2 1/2 or 3 inch cut out corners. Couldn't bring myself to toss these little "waste" squares...now I know what I'll do with them!
I have these little square left over from another project - they are 3" - I used them and my pincushions were just a bit smaller. I used buttonhole thread for sewing through the middle and attaching the button.
Thanks for the tutorial. I was looking for a quick cute pin cushion pattern. This did the trick. I like the way you match the end seams on the diagonal and turn. It's much quicker and cleaner product than using triangles.
So cute! I love the fabrics you picked to sew together. You made this look so easy (*I have never sewn a pincushion in my life,). I may have to start! :)
Thanks for the project idea and instructions. Made a great first sewing project for me and my daughter. Made a Bears cushion with a little football button.
what a great idea, I need to make a pincushion for a swap that has to finish 4 inches square. What size fabric squares would I need to make this finish at 4 inches ? thanks for great video, but would have preferred to hear you than the music.
You need to measure your fabric so from corner to corner is about 4.5". You'll use .5 as seam allowance, so the corner to corner ends up 4". This when folded in a triangle becomes one of the edges.
They come in silver metal. Craft stores. Two PC sets. Top and bottom. You cut out the circle of fabric and wrap it over the top. The ends hold taught by metal teeth you pull the fabric over. Then snap on the bottom. Smaller sizes hold more buttons per pack but they come larger as well with fewer buttons. Like $2
no need to do all that marking,just use the edge of your presser foot as a guide.Please leave out the music,or at least turn it down.Oh and crushed walnut shells are a better stuffing,they add weight and sharpen your pins and needles at the same time.
ayngemac No way! how interesting, thanks for sharing. I pull off a ton from our brushes every week. I always think how sad it is not able to be used since we all have waist-length hair.
eh. there are tons of things i. this video that you could not do to make it quicker. like only use 2 pieces (or one) of fabric, and sew the sides up. using less pins or not pins at all, not marking where the seam allowance is. using crished walnut shells instead of stuffing that way you can just pour it in through a funnel. those are just a couple. i could probably knock a simplified version of it out in about 2 and a half minutes.
+Katherine Sillaman or using prequilted scraps from your scrap pile (if youre an established sewer and have a scrap pile on hand. i happen to save all my scraps for projects like this)

And if you add a false bottom to it that has a few magnets, you can just pick it up, swipe it around, and it will pick up any missed pins.
I've made three of these, given one of them as a gift. The recipient loved it! I for sure will make more. Thanks for sharing!
Brilliant - fast and accurate. No messing and a pretty pin cushion at the end. Well done!
Love this, a bit easier than the one I did! Will use it in my sewing classes for sure. Thank you!

Thanks for the button idea too. I wasn't aware of how you could buy and cover them. So cool. Thanks
So cute! I love the fabrics you picked to sew together. You made this look so easy (*I have never sewn a pincushion in my life,). I may have to start! :)
you can use the Charms Set, many colour...in every topic
Thanks for the project idea and instructions. Made a great first sewing project for me and my daughter. Made a Bears cushion with a little football button.
This is great! Do you ever stuff your pincushions with other things than poly fill? Or in addition to the poly fill?
wonderful tutorial-- so easy to follow - I made one for my sewing room ---thanks ! Fantastic !
Awesome thank you. I stuffed mine with an old pair of tights lol.
cassi lakin lmao
Great idea, that's what I'll do!
Hot patootie bless my soul I really liked this little tutorial.

What a simple but very effective design. Now to make one.

How did u make that button?
They come in silver metal. Craft stores. Two PC sets. Top and bottom. You cut out the circle of fabric and wrap it over the top. The ends hold taught by metal teeth you pull the fabric over. Then snap on the bottom. Smaller sizes hold more buttons per pack but they come larger as well with fewer buttons. Like $2

Why does the back music remind me of Rocky H.
I stuff my pin cushions with my thread and fabric cuttings….just being frugal as my hubby says.
thanks

That music drove my eyes to pinpoints, I jyst turned it down, no biggie really, way too loud and distracting.. .. still thanks for posting.
Brilliant

Good music 👏👏

Making me nervous leaving the pins in the fabric as you sew...
My mom stuffs her pincushions with human hair. She says it sharpens the pins when you push them in.
this is scary...
That is awesome.
I was told that protect the needles from rusted bcz hair have oil, I have one, too.
Flora Jyi Oil doesn't cause rust. Water does.

tutorials where you don't talk are boring i wont watch them
I find the opposite in most videos. Slow soft spoken - boring! To each his/her own...
