I'm in the middle of making a large tuffet with a group of my quilting friends and have just watched your video. Its fantastic and I love it. I will try to make it before our next sewing/construction tuffet day. The ladies will love it too and I can see them wanting to make one too. Thanks for all your great videos. Your instructions are explained so succinctly, easy to follow and you save time using the time lapse technique
I took a class at my local quilt shop to make one of these pin cushions. It was a fun class and I didn't give it away. I do have the kit to make another one and will probably give it away. As an aside I do collect pin cushions. Thank you for all of your tutorials. I have learned so much from you.
i was able to finally finish this cutie project. I will say it is as cute as can be. I'm glad I bought the hardware kit last Christmas when it was in clearance. I only broke 1 nail. and I had to have a neighbor do the tufting. bc the hands couldn't find the center hole. OMG just glad I finished!!!
I bought my kit and enjoyed very much doing it. I saw your tutorial many times follow every step because I am new in sewing and my pin cushion is very very pretty! Thanks!
Laura you’re brilliant! I’ve just made one of these but am having difficulty with the finishing touches, i.e. pulling the string to make the tuffet by myself, and adding the felt to the bottom. Hopefully I’ll be able to finish it now. Thank you. Love your videos
Oh Laura that's just to cute. Your clear instructions make it easy for first time sewer's like myself, as I'm still learning how to actually read patterns :)
oh wow I watched your video, then google for more information, then bought the kit, unfortunately by the time I looked around the shop I didn't realise I had bought the refill kit, not the kit you have listed with the fabrics, so now I'll have to buy some muslin and fabric, but that's not a hardship lol, I also loved the way you made it much better than the other video I had seen of it, I found yours much easier to follow. Thank you.
I'm so tempted to purchase this kit! I actually made a full-size tuffet last year. Love it, but it was challenging. This one would be a breeze after making the full size. Thank you for sharing the links.
No,just NO, too much work for a pin cushion lol….. Love Laura…I always say…out loud, when I stop in to see what you’re up to… “ I wonder what Ms. Perfect is up to today?” Everything you do Laura, turns out just perfect 🥰 Thank you for this, although I’m too lazy to go through the trouble, it’s given me some ideas 💡
HI. watched a lot of your videos. thank you. I wonder if you have a video of making a full size tuffet. I have acquired a lot of ties and have seen videos but none compare to your instructions. Is this something you have done at all? Thank you again!!
Hello...I just subscribed and I think that is so sweet ❤ I am just learning to sew & I will be very happy when I can produce a beautiful piece like this. You make it look so easy lol I look forward to watching many more videos. I will be watching some older ones too. Big Hugs from AZ God Bless
Laura you did an awesome job as always. I've been wanting to do that kit for awhile now. Kinda pricy. Keepsakes, and Connecting Threads has them in kits too. Thanks for the tutorial. Happy Easter and God Bless
That is: One - Special - Pin - Cushion ! Oh boy, I had fun just WATCHING you make it; I can only imagine the satisfaction in making it myself. It would be hard to give away . . . maybe I could do it for a really special friend . . . they'd have to deserve it and promise to think of me and how hard it was to let go of it -- every time they used it! (giggle, giggle). So Laura, what are you going to do with the one you made?
This is so dang CUTE I'm hyperventilating! I haven't been able to sew for a few years and now I'm CRAVING to sew and create beauty again. Other sewists might take for it granted because they get to sew all the time, and I might be like that too if I hadn't just been through a long creative famine, but this little project is so appealing to me that if I don't get to make it I'm gonna need therapy...those fabrics...!! But it's official: YOU ARE A BORN TEACHER, and I love the preciseness with which you make things. I've always been precise too but not with your degree of skill, so your videos are like little confections I savor. (Do you know what I mean by precise? Let me take a run at the hill of explaining it: You are exact and have a professional's knowledge and skill and pristineness that thrills my eyes and my soul.) Pant, gasp-- I've about blown my cerebral cortex trying to find the right words to "name it," to explain what I mean. Please say you get it! This kit idea is genius and their "ingredients" look very high-quality. Yummm to the 9th power!!
+ Sue Leigh - Oh, I'm pretty sure Laura "gets it"; but she's humble and gracious enough not to brag on herself. She doesn't need to; those of us who tune in twice a week have the same response as you. It's just that not all her viewers/students take the time to write the creative comments you just did. I really enjoyed reading it, by the way. AND, I get how and why you responded to this video. I love her preciseness too - "little confections to savor" as you put it, and "pristineness that thrills my eyes and soul". You expressed what many of us feel; thank you! Who knew watching a sewing instructor could bring so much joy to so many students?
newbeequilter Thank you so much for your comment and "mirroring"!! I was so relieved at its positivity and kindness that I felt like putting you in The Will (don't get excited, it's pot luck right now--you have to bring your own money...) I couldn't bring myself to comment under YT videos for years because I was a very private person and socially afraid to be as publically exposed as a "flasher" on Main Street at noon. But I've been daring, for awhile now, to leave comments and have so far lived to tell about it--no sirens, no Main Street arrests...and no one grabbing their stomachs and projectile vomiting. Do you still feel like a newbie? Where are you in your sewing adventures? What's been your favorite project or accomplishment so far? (I've been away from sewing for so long I feel like a born-again virgin.) Thanks again, Newbie, and best wishes♡ Sue
+ Sue Leigh - I love your sense of humor; you had me laughing out loud both times. It's hard to believe you were ever a private person or socially afraid :-) Yikes! I SO want to respond to your questions and comments here. But I need to sleep on this decision because of how revealing the answers would be. Seriously. Don't get me wrong, I'm normally not afraid to say who I am or express myself. But this is Laura's channel and I already have a past history of leaving lengthy comments here (as she can attest to) that have been "off topic" from many of her YT videos because I sometimes get on a roll and take a trip down memory lane. Some would nickname me "Loquacious Linda" for a reason (I'm an old lady with time on my hands), so it would take at least five LONG paragraphs. I'll leave it up to Laura to decide if she'd mind if this on-line quilting bee of comments that takes place in her sewing studio on YT takes a lengthy coffee break with two of the participants (pen pals?) chatting for everyone else to "listen" to. I'll totally understand if she'd rather we not go off on this tangent.
newbeequilter We both have the same guilty secret. I unleash my diarrhea of the verbosity on another channel because that teacher of many creative things is so soft spoken, "safe" and nurturing as she teaches that I find myself spewing uncontrollably. You and I might be the same age... Wait!! I've got to stifle myself and wait for our mentor's "GO-ahead" or her "OFF with their heads--and cut their tongues out while you're at it!!" ; ) What about emailing each other so we don't upset the balance here?
newbeequilter go for it😀 I'm loving every minute. I'll have to start a friendship group at this point. I love to see you chatting.. after all.. that is what happens when you get a new friend
Very cute. Good job. I'd watch the walnut shells tho. I have found that anything that can be eaten by a little bug, will get eaten. Any alternatives to walnut shells? I used to do papier mache for my kids, and anything with flour or corn starch eventually got eaten by little bugs, even after adding school glue, paste, etc. to it. bean bags made with real beans got eaten. Just a thought.
+ JoAnne Denison - Must have driven you buggy, huh? I live in a southern state where those guys love the heat and humidity in the summer here. When I see bugs where they don't belong I actually yell at them like one scolds a misbehaving pet. Ha! It gives me a great deal of satisfaction when I can stomp on them. I haven't made a pin cushion with walnut shells yet - but I thought I'd read somewhere that the ones that come manufactured and packaged like those especially for crafts use (treated in some way?) are bug-resistant.
Good pun. But yeah, those little critters drive us all buggy when they eat our woolens, cottons, silks and pin cushion and bean bag fillings. I guess I've gone all natural and now they see nothing in my home as a threat--only lunch and dinner! So I warn people about flour and corn starch in papier mache and bean bags!
Yes as a general rule I do stay away from food too. But I'm not too sure if bugs would bother these as I think they have been treated. Thanks for commenting:)
How do you transfer the markings from the template onto the muslin. I can't find any video that shows this part of the process. The instructions that come with the pinwheel cushion kit does not make mention of how to do this either. The instructions has a small picture but does not tell you HOW to do it.
Hiya Laura, I love ur video, my sister in law wants me to make the patterns for it, but what r the dimensions? Width x Lenghth? And the inches between the lines below the neck? The Crayon head I should say..hehe Sorry....:) hugs
Yeah, I wasn't sure about them myself.. So, I made it 3"Lx 1.5" w and each middle square 1.5" L... Did u hand draw those or print them out?... I subscribed and will share.. I have a channel, if u want to c it? And...chuckles, I hope u like not so pretty.. Cause, that is what I am..tc sweetie.. hugs Please, SHARE, LIKE, COMMENT and SUBSCRIBE...
I loveed the video and the pin cushion is gorgeous but I definitely do not like the feet! Why do you need the large white feet? Spoiled it for me sorry.
I'm in the middle of making a large tuffet with a group of my quilting friends and have just watched your video. Its fantastic and I love it. I will try to make it before our next sewing/construction tuffet day. The ladies will love it too and I can see them wanting to make one too. Thanks for all your great videos.

Small wooden Spools would be adorable for feet! What a sweet project!
how cute:)

I have two of these to make and have been afraid to start. Your tutorial is great and makes me want to get them made. Thank you very much!
I bought my kit and enjoyed very much doing it. I saw your tutorial many times follow every step because I am new in sewing and my pin cushion is very very pretty! Thanks!
Sew glad you like it:)
This tutorial is awesome! You are such a great teacher💜Can’t wait to make one of these!
Laura you’re brilliant! I’ve just made one of these but am having difficulty with the finishing touches, i.e. pulling the string to make the tuffet by myself, and adding the felt to the bottom. Hopefully I’ll be able to finish it now. Thank you. Love your videos
I have had this tuffet kit for a long time! I purchased it at Road to California. Thank you for the tutorial!
have fun making it:)
Thank you. I love the way you teach so very interesting and never boring.
Thank you!
What a stunning pin cushion. A must sew project I'd say
Sew much fun too:)
So cute and you are very good at explaining how to do this. Thank you.
Beautuful, I love pin cushions. I would use handbag feet which you can get in an antique look finish.
What a cute pincushion this kit is.
Oh Laura that's just to cute. Your clear instructions make it easy for first time sewer's like myself, as I'm still learning how to actually read patterns :)
It is a great little project
What a really cute pincushion and it would make an excellent gift. Great tutorial Laura!!!
Conchita Quilt i
I love your teaching, keep small projects coming.
Thanks I'll do my best:)
I have had this kit for so long, I must make it. Thank you. Love pincushions.
oh wow I watched your video, then google for more information, then bought the kit, unfortunately by the time I looked around the shop I didn't realise I had bought the refill kit, not the kit you have listed with the fabrics, so now I'll have to buy some muslin and fabric, but that's not a hardship lol,
I also loved the way you made it much better than the other video I had seen of it, I found yours much easier to follow. Thank you.
Love it! Sure hope I can find the kit
What a cute pin cushion great idea! Thank you for sharing! Hugs Liz...
You are a GREAT TEACHER..... Thank You
I'm so tempted to purchase this kit! I actually made a full-size tuffet last year. Love it, but it was challenging. This one would be a breeze after making the full size. Thank you for sharing the links.
oh how fun! you could make a matching one:)
Oh, my gosh! Thank you for all the tips!......from a wannabe seamstress / quilter in TX.
Thanks and thank you for watching
Hi Laura and thank you very much for another great tutorial! 😎🌸
Plaid would live to make this pin cushion please share a link or an updated version
Very nice tutorial. Your instructions make it seem so very easy. Blessings Laura M

No,just NO, too much work for a pin cushion lol….. Love Laura…I always say…out loud, when I stop in to see what you’re up to… “ I wonder what Ms. Perfect is up to today?” Everything you do Laura, turns out just perfect 🥰 Thank you for this, although I’m too lazy to go through the trouble, it’s given me some ideas 💡
brilliant...... crushed walnut shells....will have to look out for them
it is always fun to see new things:)
Amazon has them. Also pet stores, as this is what's used for the base in iguana or lizard tanks.
Ohhhh so excited I can't wait to make one ... it's sooooo cute ...I've made quite a few pin cushions 😜
I love making pincushions too:)
Beautiful! Thank you Laura for sharing. Love it!
Thank for for watching and commenting:)

Thank you and I "sew love doing them" :)
Where can I get the templates for the color wheel pincushion I bought the kit from Amazon but the kit didn’t have the template
Fantastic instructional video

Very very cute
How much walnut shells was included? Thanks! I really enjoy your videos!!
The website you listed for the kits is no longer in business.
How can I get the pattern for the wheel parts? I been searching but can’t find it.
Where did you buy this, I can’t find the link.
very good tutorial, but you did not address how to actually secure the white feet? Did I miss that ? How do you attach them?
Marthe Jones Sorry about that but the feet just screw onto the screws. Thanks for asking
Clicked on the link to order the kit. Website not available. Not available on Amazon as they don’t ship to Australia
Sorry this is an older video so it looks like it is no longer available
SewVeryEasy thank you for your reply. Would you be able to provide the strip measurements if possible.
Thanks

The instructions that come with the pinwheel cushion kit does not make mention of how to do this either. The instructions has a small picture but does not tell you HOW to do it.
you can use a light box or window to make a template and then use that:)
Love this!!!
thanks
Very nice
thanks:)
Me encanta, cómo conseguir el patrón?????☺☺☺☺
I LOVE IT!!!
شكرا Nice job thanks
This so nice. Or sew nice. Thank you.

None of the feet fit. You cannot use drawer pulls or felt feet. A year later and there it sits with no feet
I loveed the video and the pin cushion is gorgeous but I definitely do not like the feet! Why do you need the large white feet? Spoiled it for me sorry.
that is OK, the feet was just to show a different way, that is all. Thanks for watching :)
👏👏👏👏👍👍👍😍

talks way too much.
sorry and thanks for watching
