Pin Cushions

Cupcake Pin Cushion

Here are some cute little pin cushions made from ordinary cupcake papers, a variety of materials for the top including, flannel, cotton, a sweater, yarn, and fur, plus a few plastic beads to give the bottom some weight. I added a few buttons and some felt leaves to add a finishing touch.

Here are a few more examples of finished cupcakes. You can also make them from fabric.

Here's one with a yarn top to look like real frosting!

Cat Pin Cushion

Here is a cat pin cushion. The cat is not attached to the 'fish pond' at all, and just leans against the side hoping a small fish might come her way.

Teacup Pin Cushion

Here's a little pincushion I made from a teacup and saucer that I glued together. They make nice pincushions because the saucer will hold thread and scissors for you.

I recently received an email asking where I got the pins in the pin cushions. I purchased almost all of them at JoAnn Fabrics, and I made the ones with glass beads on them (mini teacup). My favorite pins to use for sewing projects are Clover or Iris, and my favorite needles to use for hand sewing are Foxglove Cottage, Straw Needles.

Clover, Iris, and Foxglove Cottage all have very fine points and are so nice to use.
