- Pin Cushion
What you will need:
• Scraps of fabric
• Embroidery floss, craft stuffing (batting)
• Basics – needle, thread, scissors
Use a plate or bowl about 6” in diameter to trace a circle onto your fabric.
Cut 2 circles out.
Place right sides together, pin in place.
Stitch around outside edge, learning a 1” gap for turning. Clip seam allowance, being careful not to clip through the seam. (When we sew an outside curve, we want to notch the seam allowance to reduce bulk when we turn it right side out).
Turn right side out. Stuff with batting. Hand sew opening shut.
