    I made one of these from my daughters childhood toys. Her hubby purchased her a new sewing machine and I gave her the pin cushion. Sweet memories everytime she looks at it. Thanks for sharing the beautiful idea.

    You make my creative lightbulb turn on every time!!! I have an old doll head with torso and lil arms that need to be turned into a pincushion sewing companion. Every time I see her in distress loved by someone so much she only had half of her body left, I knew I must try to do something to bring her back to life! Thank you! As usual after watching your videos to craft store for bag of pellets! Lol Thank you

    I use crushed walnut shells for pin cushions. They are abrasive to help keep pins sharpened & heavy enough for weight. You find these at your local feed stores. I store unused shells in my freezer, but they are so clean it probably isn't necessary. Crushed shells are almost as fine as sand, but less messy. I use a funnel & a lining bag of muslin. Love your show!!

    I love the old fashion bonnet, have you considered doing a demonstration on how to make one for your subscribers. The memories you have I'm sure is as precious as having the pin cushion from your grandmother as well. Your collection of pincushions are are great to see. Thank you for sharing!

    I LOVE PINCUSHIONS!! I probably have 15-20. Every shape and size you can think of but none with a stuffed animal. As soon as I saw this video I started looking around and found them at Walmart.com. They have everything from bumblebees to giraffes. I've already ordered some and can't wait for them to get here. Thanks for the tutorial.

    @akarpowicz 5 років тому +2

    Adorable and very practical. I also sew a couple buttons on pin cushions for sewing needles. It really helps.
    Also, a person can find a stuffed toy at thrift store or garage sale or even some young relatives discarded toy to make the pinchushion. Also, think half doll from a discarded doll.

    Hi Laura, Thanks so much for sharing your pin cushion collection, I, too, have some favorites, some I use regularly and others I have just because I enjoy them! Thanks for sharing how you made the panda pin cushion, very fun!

  • @dijones2441
    @dijones2441 5 років тому +7

    I love making pincushions to Laura...I love the tip of the button to keep sewing needles separate ...I will be on the lookout for a cute soft animal to add to my collection..with a button...which I also collect 😂. Thank you 💐

  • @pjinlaca5489
    @pjinlaca5489 4 роки тому +1

    I love your tips about pincushions. The button is particularly brilliant!! I particularly need one that's weighted and think I'm going to make a tuffet one that I'll weight with washers from the hardware store. That way I can 'feel' how many I think I want. As always, I love your videos. I have frequently sent my granddaughter who's learning to sew to your site for instructions on a variety of things. Hope your new sewing room can continue. I know we'll all be happy to be able to see it. Stay safe and well! My best, from Los Angeles....

    Love these animal pin cushions and the bonnet is cute as well.
    Funny, I was making teacup pin cushions a few years back and was gluing a 4-hole button to each one. Never thought of your idea of putting the hand sewing needles there.

  • @adelechicken6356
    @adelechicken6356 5 років тому +2

    I love your collection, especially the critters. I have 2 plastic pin holders that have a clear portion and colored top with hole and magnet, so only the pinheads show, I love them. Then I have the regular tomato one and one I have made in about 15 seconds. It has a white glass base shaped like an oval basket, it used to have scented beads under a cardboard liner and fake flowers on top. I think it was Avon about 40 years ago. When the scent was gone I emptied it, and took a fabric covered foam shoulder pad and stuffed it in, tucking it so that it looked nice. I use it to hold my hand sewing needles and some open brass pins around the edge, which I used when fitting garments, they stay in and no one gets poked.

    you should try ground walnuts shells you can find them in a pet store used for bedding for reptiles. It is not expensive. The shells give u weight and it keeps the needles and pins clean and sharp. it is my favorite filler

    I love the panda and thank you for showing how you put it all together. The embellishments that makes it your own was perfect. What a nice gift to your favorite sewer or for yourself. All your pincushions were fabulous to see as well. I too you a candy dish for a few supplies to be handy when I need them. God bless and congratulations on your new book. I am putting that on my wish list to get as soon as possible. I always learn so much from you as your a top teacher.

    What an adorable pin cushion! I've seen those hat kits and even bought one, but turned it into a lovey instead of a hat. When I have to cinch something up, my favourite "thread" to use is dental floss. Sounds silly at first, but works like a charm!

    A better choice for the environment than the plastic pellets is ground walnut shells. Cheap and readily available and they add a nice weight to the pin cushion.

    I love the bonnets at I make them all the time my grandmother made this way back in the sixties and 50 Sivan and we sold them around the neighborhood they were made out of scraps we use pieces of lice to trim them I make mine just like my grandma did and the modern span is just a about the same just a few differences I try to get fabric that looks as retro as I can

    Laura. I love your videos. I've learned so much from them. This one is a favorite. I love pin cushions too. So many fun containers at good will make cute ones. A tip l can across is to use crushed walnut shells (sold as beding for reptiles at the let store) used as filling naturally sharpens needles and pins!

I do like your works , and you always demonstrate it so well thank you...🌹❤️🌹❤️

    That's a really cute Panda pin cushion. I had found a ceramic bowl with a wooden lid a while ago, and decided to make it a pin cushion. I'm trying to figure a way to make the wooden lid the cushion and use the bowl for excess pins. I'm thinking of using a gathering foot to be able to glue the fabric to the circumference of the lid. I hope it works. Haha
