No matter how many pincushions I have, there’s never one handy when I need one. I end up with pins in my mouth or laying around everywhere, neither of which is very safe!<\/p>\n

Well my errant pin problems are over, now that I have a very cute and very practical Toadstool Wrist Pincushion<\/strong>. It was very easy to make with some felt scraps, a piece of remnant elastic and some recycled plastic product packaging.<\/p>\n

The inspiration for the toadstool\/mushroom design came from the domed shape of the pincushion itself. It reminded me of a little fairy house – so whimsical. You can leave off the spots if you prefer it plain, or embellish it even further with an embroidery design of your own. One from this book<\/a> would be lovely.<\/p>\n

These make the perfect little gift for a friend that loves sewing, and a fantastic addition to a vintage tin sewing kit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

I’ve added a plastic base plate to protect my wrist from getting punctured if I’m too enthusiastic with my pinning. The plastic came from some product packaging that I fished out of the recycling bin. There is also a printable template included, but if you can’t be bothered with printing (or have run out of ink), measurements are included in step 2 for self drafting.<\/p>\n
