This book is filled with 25 amazing projects that are simple, yet stylish. From cushions, throws, and bags to a cot quilt, table linen, and even a blind, you’ll find everything you need to know to get started.

I have to say, I wasn’t exactly an expert sewer when I first picked up this book, but the step-by-step instructions and photos made it so easy to follow along. The basics section at the beginning of the book was also a great resource for me, as it taught me all the essential techniques I needed to know to get started.

The projects in this book are all about adding color, texture, and pattern to your home, and the author does a great job of using simple sewing techniques and fresh fabrics to make each project really stand out.

It doesn’t matter whether you sew by hand or by machine, you need a pincushion. You need a spot to parks pins and needles and keep them within easy reach for when you need them again. There are a lot of styles of pincushion to choose from. Some magnetic, some fabric. Some cute, some purely functional. This “little bit extra” pincushion has a spot to store all the different types of pins and needles you might need while sewing. Polka Dot Chair has a free sewing pattern you can use to make one for yourself.

This handy little pincushion has a circular shape and is divided into sections to store different types of pins. The bottom section is for your regular straight pins. Just poke them in and they’re ready for when you need them. The top has one section with a felt flap perfect for holding your sewing needles. I don’t know about you but I don’t like mixing my hand sewing needles in with my pins on a pincushion. It makes it hard to find the needle when I want it. So having a separate section for the needles is a great idea.

This “little bit extra” pincushion also has a spot to hold a few fabric clips. Fabric clips have become popular alternatives to a traditional straight pin. They hold fabric pieces together without piercing the fabric, which is important when sewing leather, vinyl, or other materials that will show permanent holes from pins.

You can sew the “little bit extra” pincushion from large fabric scraps or small fabric cuts (fat eighth). You probably already have all the supplies you need to sew one in your sewing supplies already.
