Tutorial: Itty magnetic pincushions

These itty bottle cap pincushions have magnets on the back so you can stick them to your sewing machine.  How smart is that!  Sachiko from Tea Rose Home shows how you can make them.  The base is a recycled bottle cap, and the top can be made from scraps of fabric and trim.

  1. I would never use magnets on my sewing machines. Most have computers now and it will ruin the computer. However these sure would work on a strip on the wall or something not near the machine!

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
