Tutorial: Give a fresh new look to your tomato pincushion
You know the tomato pincushion that everyone has? Ana from The Lost Apron shows how you can update your traditional red tomato pincushion by giving it a new fabric outside. Neat idea! It keeps the classic tomato shape but the different fabric gives it an unexpected twist. She chose a pink gingham which has a sweet retro feel to it. Use florals, stripes, any design that suits your fancy.

Sewing Pincushions are also called Emery Bag as they contain Emery powder 
and oxide iron that removes rust from pins and needles. Emery pinch cushions can be bought here.
