A Video by Missouri Star showing how to make a pin cushion cover using materials we may already have at home. This uses a mason jar instead of the tin seen above that I use as my travel sewing kit. The jar is a little different, too, in that there are no decorative stitches, but I link to it because it scratches the same itch. Another type of jar could be used; glue is unnecessary if you puncture the top with 2 nail holes, thread centre-stitched threads through, and knot them inside the lid. This would hold the cushion in place at the top and create a decorative tufted indent in the centre.
NOTE: On all of these containers, a magnet can be sewn into the bottom of the pin cushion to attach it to the tin. A magnet in a heart (come on - tell me you don't love this metaphor) allows your pin cushion <--> (and this one) to also be attached to your embroidery stand.
BUT do as I do, not as I say: I sew Velcro to my heart and add its patch mate to the bottom of the tin with another to my embroidery stand. It means I can place my heart exactly where I want.
Here's another post ... the story about making my first Pin Cushion when I was in grade 5. There's more information about The Kit there, with other materials you might use.
Part 1 of 3 of another video showing my other Pin Cushion is here showing me sewing running stitches at the start of a sashiko stitch known as Hawke's Feather.
Segue to another video showing this same tin ... and making beads from rose petals. [The Co-Working Session after this on One Seed Wonders Skool will be on knotting beads (though not ones made of rose petals ... though I will talk a little about and different ways to make & them)].
