Tutorial: Pincushion in a teapot

Sarah from Sadie Seasongoods shows how you can make a pincushion in a teapot. This is a little bit of genius!! Start with a pretty teapot, perhaps one you’ve picked up from the thrift store, and add a pincushion under the lid. The pins will be hidden when the lid is on the teapot. And when you want to keep the pins handy, just invert the lid on the teapot base. You can store other small notions in the bottom of the teapot.
