Tutorial: Pincushion that organizes your sewing machine needle

Ajaire from Call Ajaire has just blown my mind.  This patchwork pincushion is also a needle organizer.  The squares in the patchwork are designed to each hold a different type of needle for your sewing machine.  And to make it easy to tell which type of needle goes in which square, the type of fabric for the patchwork relates to the type of needle used to sew it.  So, a denim needle would go in the denim square, a ball point needle in a knit fabric, etc.  She shares a tutorial showing how you can make one for yourself.  Choose the types of fabric you sew on most for your own personalized needle organizer.

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.
