Now a little bit about The Pin Pouf. While this pin cushion is great for any sewist, I designed it with the quilter in mind. Here's why:
- it's thick! At 2" deep, it's perfect for long quilting pins and there's no risk of being stabbed from underneath.
it's big! This 3.5" square provides plenty of space for lots of pins. It's not so big, though, that it takes up your entire sewing space.
it's flat on the bottom! This baby stays put, making it easy to get pins in and out without fuss.
- it's made with quilting techniques! Quilter's will recognize strip piecing, chain stitching, and matching seams.
Good luck!
And if by chance you'd like to buy the pattern, it's available at http:www.minimushroom.etsty.com ;-)
My current pin cushion is a nice little wrist one the I purchased on Etsy. At my other machine, I have one of those Big Giant pin cushions that I made, using walnut shells inside.
ReplyDeleteThis one of yours would be an intermediate size for me, besides it being so pretty.
I'm currently using a round dollar store kitchen sponge set into a clear, round plastic food container. FUGLY! I SO want a pincushion. This one would be lovely for me. Or ... one of these days I'll just have to bite the bullet and make one.
