Supplies Needed

  • Wool or acrylic felt in contrast colors. You can purchase felt squares from your local haberdashery or craft shop. Etsy also has a great supply of felt sellers.
  • A couple of handfuls of polyester filling for stuffing your pincushion.
  • Matching threads. You can use embroidery threads or just ordinary machine thread.

Printing and Assembling Pattern Pieces

Download and print your pincushion patterns by clicking on the image below. A new window will open. When printing your pattern pieces, make sure that your printers “page scaling” is set to “none” and “auto center and rotate” is checked.  The pattern pieces print on 8.5” x 11”(letter) or A4 paper.  You can check your pattern has printed in the correct size by measuring the one inch (2.5cm) test square.

PINCUSHION PATTERNS INSTRUCTIONS

1. Stitch the hearts on the SIDE piece in the positions marked on the pattern. Use a whip stitch, blanket stitch or running stitch.

2. Stitch the ends of the SIDE piece together to form a circle. Use a whip stitch or blanket stitch.

3. Stitch the applique on the TOP piece of the pin cushion in the position marked on the pattern.
Use a whip stitch, blanket stitch or running stitch. The red thread and black needle was stitched using a back stitch.

4. Stitch the TOP to the SIDE piece. Use a whip stitch or blanket stitch. You will need to use fairly small stitches so that the stuffing does not poke out of any gaps when you are finished.

5. Turn the pincushion over and stitch the BOTTOM to the SIDE piece. You will need to leave a 1 ½ inch (4cm) gap to feed the stuffing through. Leave the thread and needle still attached

6. Stuff your pincushion through the gap. Be careful not to overstuff the pincushion or it will look more like a ball!

7. Stitch the gap closed with the still attached thread.

8. If your pincushion is not sitting flat you can put a couple of stitches through the center starting at the bottom and going through the top and back down.

Congratulations on another great project you have completed! You can now admire your handiwork every time you reach for a pin.
