Tutorial: Scrap fabric patchwork pincushion

Anna from Tea and a Sewing Machine shows how you can sew these pretty pincushions. The patchwork lets you use some of your smaller fabric scraps and trims. The pincushion makes a pretty place to store your needles and pins. Or, if you don’t need a pincushion (or are making it as a gift for someone who doesn’t sew), add some lavender to the filling and use it as a sachet.
