Here’s a fun little pin cushion I designed for the June 2009 issue of Cotton Spice web magazine. You can make it with a bottle cap and scraps of batting and fabric. Find the instructions on page 10. (Click here to open PDF. Be patient while it loads, this is a 76-page jam-packed issue! It includes lots of green ideas: a tutorial on how to upcycle an old lamp shade, crochet a rug from fabric scraps, as well as darning tips and lots of fun quilt patterns. Don’t miss Beth Brubaker’s article, Quilter’s Playground: Frugal Fashions on page 58 for fun ideas for using up fabric scraps.)

    I haven't been to Cotton Spice for awhile, Laura, thanks for the reminder about it.
    It is a very cool little pincushion and a very useful design.
    Thanks for sharing…
