Tutorial: Magnetic needle minders
These needle minders by Bev from Flamingo Toes are as adorable as they are practical. She shares a tutorial showing how to make them. The fabric covered buttons are magnetic so they’ll hold a needle (or a couple of straight pins). Another magnet piece will attach it to a piece of fabric so you can keep your needle and pins with your project – without damaging the work by piercing it with needle or pins. These would make sweet “I thought of you” gifts for your sewy or stitchy friends!

A bunch of my friends rave on about needle minders. Must try this. Instead of the dangerous practice of sticking em in the arms of chairs.
