I love this! I wear my crazy cat lady self with pride. Do I qualify as a crazy cat lady since I only have 2 cats? We’ve just moved and I’m trying to get rid of some things. The things I didn’t get rid of when we were packing. Anyway, I have all these orphan socks and this is perfect. I might even make a few with catnip in them for my babies. Apparently we have a nip problem around here. It can happen in the best of families. I stepped on something in the dark that felt odd. They’d found a box of catnip (that was in a plastic sleeve) and ripped it open. There was some still left so I put it up on a shelf. Guess who got it down and finished ripping it open? Yep. They’re addicts and they don’t even care!

Sew a Pincushion for Pins, Needles, and Fabric Clips

It doesn’t matter whether you sew by hand or by machine, you need a pincushion. You need a spot to parks pins and needles and keep them within easy reach for when you need them again. There are a lot of styles of pincushion to choose from. Some magnetic, some fabric. Some cute, some purely functional. This “little bit extra” pincushion has a spot to store all the different types of pins and needles you might need while sewing. Polka Dot Chair has a free sewing pattern you can use to make one for yourself.

This handy little pincushion has a circular shape and is divided into sections to store different types of pins. The bottom section is for your regular straight pins. Just poke them in and they’re ready for when you need them. The top has one section with a felt flap perfect for holding your sewing needles. I don’t know about you but I don’t like mixing my hand sewing needles in with my pins on a pincushion. It makes it hard to find the needle when I want it. So having a separate section for the needles is a great idea.

This “little bit extra” pincushion also has a spot to hold a few fabric clips. Fabric clips have become popular alternatives to a traditional straight pin. They hold fabric pieces together without piercing the fabric, which is important when sewing leather, vinyl, or other materials that will show permanent holes from pins.

You can sew the “little bit extra” pincushion from large fabric scraps or small fabric cuts (fat eighth). You probably already have all the supplies you need to sew one in your sewing supplies already.
