How to make a Pin Cushion

Pin cushions are very safe places to store your needles. You can make lots of different pin cushions but this one is the most basic one.

Difficulty: Very easy
Time: 20-30 minutes

What you need:

- Pins
- Fabric of your choice
- Matching thread
- Stuffing

How to make a Pin Cushion:

1.Cut out your fabric and turn to the faded side. If this does not apply to your fabric, such as felt, ignore step 1b.
2. Fold in half.
3. Sew a stitch of your choice along the two side edges.
4. If needed, turn right side out. Poke a pencil around the corners to make a straight shape.
5. Stuff the cushion evenly until you reach the top edge.
6. Sew a stitch of your choice along the top edge. To maintain a good look, do the stitch you did for the two side edges.
7. Insert pins!

Tip: Make sure the depth of your pin cushion is deep enough otherwise your pins will go right through it. This will be dangerous to you as well as being pointless.
