Make cool pincushions from fabric scraps
If you like to sew, you’ll know just how indispensable a good pincushion is.
So, why not kill two birds with one stone: get a yourself a cool and unique pincushion and use up your old material scraps at the same time?
You’ll find over 20 ideas for crafting pincushions here and you’ll be able to utilise even the smallest scraps of material in your stash.
I guess this can be a two-edged sword, though; while it will use up scraps you can’t bear to throw out, you could be tempted to feed your hoarder side by saving even more and smaller scraps, because you know you can do actually something with them later.
The pincushions pictured here will also be a great project for beginner patchworkers, because the buttons will hide a multitude of sins when your corners don’t quite meet!
If you have friends who sew, these make great and inexpensive gifts, and they will appreciate that you took the time to make something for them yourself.
