This past spring when I taught the sewing class at the Christian Academy, I needed a way for students to keep track of pins needed for their projects. I decided to make them a tool they would need for the rest of their sewing life. They came out a bit larger than I intended like the red cap. However, I rather liked the oversized cushion.

Yep, I actually have a compass in my sewing room, saved from my classroom teaching days.
Scrap paper always comes in handy.
However, paper works better for me.
The longest stitch on my machine is a 7.0.
Another project that can be added to the scrap book.
I like solid colors for pin cushion.
Prints challenge my eyes too much when looking for pins.
I made a different color for each of my 8 students so
they would be able to identify their own cushion.
A glue gun would probably have worked better, but I was out of glue sticks.
Similar to 2 strands of embroidery thread.
I rather like these! There's something about the plumpness that appeals - makes one want to give them a little squeeze (of course that wouldn't be such a smart idea if there were pins!!)
