Pin Cushion

Start your sewing kit with this easy pin cushion. Perfect for kid's beginning sewing projects.

Felt 4x4 inches
Batting-You can stuff sand in your cushion also, about 1/2 stuffing and 1/2 batting. The sand can help sharpen your needles and pins.

Cut two pieces of felt 4 x4 inches in size. Sew three sides on the sewing machine. Back stitching to secure your stitches. Turn right side out.

Stuff your cushion with stuffing or batting. Hand sew the end shut. Use this as a pin and needle cushion.

Create a Wrist Pincushion

You can add a strip of 1/2-1 inch elastic to your pincushion. Measure a piece of elastic from one side of the wrist to the other then add a 1/4-1/2 inch more to make it easier to get on.  Hand sew each end of the elastic to your pincushion. Now you can use this as a wrist puncushion.
