Tutorial and pattern: Itty felt cactus pincushions

Who loves these itty felt cactus pinushions, with their sweet smiles and little flower blooms? Delilah from Deliliahiris has a free pattern for making them. They’re just big enough to hold a few pins and needles, like you’d use for small hand sewing projects. To give a sense of scale, those little pots are the mini clay pots you find at the craft store.
