Sewing Machine Pincushion

Pincushion! 
I have to admit I've seen this idea floating around Pinterest and even though I try to pin as little as possible I can't deny it would be handy to have a few near at hand.


I wouldn't call this a full on tutorial but I'll explain the basics of what I did to make mine. 

I wanted my cushion to be the same length(roughly) as the area of my machine I was attaching it to. Mine was about 6 inches. The tube is 4½" wide cut and then sewn with a ¼" seam. If you want yours to be different by all means adjust the dimensions to fit your machine. 


I attached some ribbon to mine,  however I wondered if elastic would work as well. I left one end open for stuffing. Before you start stuffing away I ironed my ¼" seam so it would be easy to close.


After stuffing I laid my second piece of ribbon in the opening  and carefully sewed it shut.

Now you're done and I simply tied mine to my machine.


Thanks for reading♥
