As a seamstress, its vital to have all of your essentials within easy reach.
An absolute must is the much-loved pincushion which, thankfully, isnt a basic cushioned design any more.
And, better still, an intriguing design has the ability to encourage a sewing project or a few.

Dont you just love cute little pincushions?
They make such great gifts too!
The fabric hoarder in me is rejoicing right now.

I can buy and buy and buy and have yet another reason to keep my fabric scraps!
No reason a pincushion cant be fun, right?
to use at a dinner party or to give away in gift bags.
A really cute and clever idea!
Do you love to sew?
Of course, you do!
That is how you know that every good seamstress needs a great pin cushion by his or her side.
There is no better way to get your hands on a pincushion than to sew it yourself.
Amanda Rolfe will show you in her step by step tutorial how easy these are to make.
