I love making pincushions. I love to use them and to give them as gifts too. Sometimes I follow a pattern and sometimes I make up my own pincushions. Here is a collage showing just a few of the pincushions that I made in the past. The pincushions that I made for this blog hop are after the collage.

| Collage of a few pincushions that I have made over the years. |
 |
| I knit 3 mushrooms and felted them to create these pincushions. |
 |
| I felted some spots on the one mushroom. |
 |
| These were all made using a small cap from an almond milk container as the base that I covered in felt. They are tiny pincushions that are great for slipping into a bag on-the-go. These make nice little gifts. |
 |
| I turned this and the following small canning jar lids into pincushions. I decorated each with felt and embroidery and I added some beads and sequins on some too. |

| I store beads in the jar. |

| Flower pincushion on the lid and.... |
 |
| ...flower buttons inside the jar. |
 |
| This pincushion I named Jeanne after my friend who loves to make 3-D flowers on her quilts and bags. I started with a larger plastic lid for the base (probably from an orange juice container). I made the fabric leaves and petals and quilted them. Then I glued the petals and leaves and a wool ball into the lid. I added lace around the base and some eyelash yarn around the wool ball. |

| Here they all are (except for the mushroom pincushions because I made those after I took this photo). |
I have a give-away too. I will give away a pdf of my newest pattern on Craftsy which is my
Needle Book with Pincushion & Pocket. You can make this needle book in fabric or felt and both instructions are included.

Please leave your email address in your comment if you are a no-reply or if you are not sure whether you are a no-reply.
