My old tomato pincushion was falling apart so I decided to try something new__and prettier! I found an easy tutorial that uses 5_inch scraps of fabric to make this:
You can personalize these by using your favorite fabrics and colors. These you would make great gifts too!
You can find the tutorial here.
Simple Sparrow and Bella Dia both make adorable pincushions and they generally sell them in their online shops as well.
Enjoy!
Randi Hayden and her husband homeschool their kids in Colorado. This year they will graduate their oldest daughter from high school and start their youngest daughter in kindergarten. Things are always busy at their house!

That is pretty! I couldn't get the link to the tutorial to work. I'll have to do a search later! Yours looks great!
I fixed it!
Thanks for letting me know about the broken link. I had used underscores, rather than dashes. Oops. Now the tutorial link should be working.
Happy Sewing!

That looks so simple and beautiful! I can't wait to get started on ours. Believe it or not my Boy 1 is always making "pincushions" out of bits of fabric. I do mean bits. They are more like cotton ball covers. Anyway, he will be joining the girls and I on this project! Thanks!

We made our little pin cushions. They were fun and easy. The kids loved it.
