1/8 yard print No. 2 (sides)
1 yard 1/8"- to 3/8"- wide ribbon
2—3/4"-diameter buttons
Polyester fiberfill

Cut Fabrics

Cut pieces in the following order. Click on Download this Project to download full-size pattern pieces.

Make templates for patterns A and B. Be sure to transfer the dots (matching points) marked on the patterns to the templates, then to the fabric pieces. Fold print No. 2 in half to cut Pattern B.

From print No. 1, cut:
2 of Pattern A

From print No. 2, cut:

1 of Pattern B

Assemble Pincushion

1. Using sharp scissors, at marked dots on B strip clip halfway into seam allowances. Take care not to cut into or beyond seam lines.

2. Fold B piece in half widthwise and sew together open short ends (Diagram 1). Press seam open.

3. Matching dots, sew one long edge of the B piece to an A square (Diagram 2).

4. Matching dots, join remaining A square to unsewn edge of the B piece, leaving a 1-1/2" opening for turning along one side (Diagram 3).

5. Turn pincushion cover right side out. Stuff firmly with polyester fiberfill. Hand-sew opening closed.

 

Finish Pincushion

1. Thread dollmaker’s needle with ribbon. Stitch down through center of pincushion at mark, leaving a 4"-long tail of ribbon on top of pincushion. Wrap ribbon up over one side of pincushion and stitch down again through center of pincushion (Diagram 4). Pull ribbon snug against pincushion side, being careful not to shorten ribbon tail. Repeat with remaining sides (Diagram 5).

2. Trim ribbon ends to 1/2". Fold each end in half, and whipstitch to pincushion.

3. Center one button on pincushion top over ribbon ends and a second at bottom center. Taking long stitches through the center of pincushion, sew buttons firmly in place.

Today just to sharing...

I found one more pin cushion...its more beautiful and cute...also can be use for the headband or some other else...

Let's we see this TuToRi@L...

Materials

Designer: Jane Krause
From American Patchwork & Quilting, June 2005

8x10" piece of felted wool for pincushion
1/4x14" strip of contrasting felted wool for hatband
Scraps of assorted felted wool for flower appliques
Scraps of green felted wool for leaf appliques
Polyester fiberfill
Perle cotton to match or contrast the pincushion wool
Embroidery floss: gold and colors to match pincushion wool, hatband, and beads
24--3-mm seed beads
Fabric glue

Finished size: 4-1/2" diameter

Cut the Fabrics

To make the best use of your fabrics, cut the pieces in the order that follows. Click on "Download This Project" to download the full-size patterns.

To felt wool, machine-wash it in a hot-water-wash, cool-rinse cycle with a small amount of detergent; machine-dry it on high heat and steam-press.

From pincushion wool, cut:
2 of Pattern A
1 of Pattern B

From assorted wool scraps, cut:
1 each of patterns C, D, and E

From green wool scraps, cut:
2 of Pattern F 

Assemble the Pincushion

1. Using two strands of matching embroidery floss and a running stitch, sew around the wool B circle a scant 1/4" from the outer edge (see Running Stitch diagram); do not cut the thread tails.

2. Gently pull the thread tails to gather the B piece until the circle diameter is 2"; knot thread tails.

3. Using the Crown Placement Template, draw a circle in the center of a wool A piece. Pin the gathered wool B piece to the drawn circle on the A piece. With two strands of matching embroidery floss, whipstitch the gathered circle in place (see Whipstitch diagram).

4. Turn the Step 3 piece over and carefully cut a 1" slit in the center of the A piece only. Stuff the fiberfill into the opening until the B piece is full. Whipstitch the opening closed.

 

Embellish the Pincushion

1. Beginning and ending 1" from the strip ends, and using two strands of matching embroidery floss and a running stitch, stitch down the center of the wool 1/4x14" strip. Gather the strip to fit around the base of the B piece by pulling both floss ends. Knot the floss in place leaving 1" wool tails. Evenly distribute the gathers, then tack the hatband and tails in place with fabric glue.

2. Layer wool applique pieces C, D, and E atop the two green wool F leaves to make a flower.

3. Using four strands of gold embroidery floss and stitching through all the applique layers, stitch a French knot in the flower center to secure. To make a French knot, pull your needle and floss through at the point where the knot is desired (A on the French Knot diagram). Wrap the floss around your needle twice without twisting it. Insert the tip of your needle into the fabric at B, 1/16" away from A. Gently push the wraps down the needle to meet the fabric. Pull your needle and trailing floss through the fabric slowly and smoothly.

4. Tack the flower to the hat where the hatband tails cross

5. Using a single strand of embroidery floss in a color that matches the beads, sew a set of three beads in each scallop on the A piece.

6. Place the embellished pincushion on top of the remaining wool A piece.

7. Using one strand of perle cotton, blanket-stitch around the scalloped A edges to complete the pincushion. To blanket-stitch, pull your needle up at A (see Blanket Stitch diagram), form a reverse L shape with the perle cotton, and hold the angle of the L shape in place with your thumb. Push your needle down at B and come up at C to secure the stitch.

For oval pincushion:
9x11" piece pink print
9x11" piece fusible interfacing
3-1/2x1-1/2" oval craft paper box

For round pincushion:
10" square green print
10" square fusible interfacing
2-3/4x3" round craft paper box

For both pincushions:
Acrylic paint: off-white or cream
2—2x10" pieces decorative paper
2 each of 1/4x4" and 1/4x10" pieces green-and-white check ribbon
2—1-3/8x10" pieces 1-1/2"-wide rickrack: green
Small sponge brush
Fine-grit sandpaper
Pinking shears
Bookbinding glue
Paste wax: light brown
Soft cloth
Tacky glue
Heavy-duty sewing thread
Crafts sand
Polyester fiberfill

Finished pincushions:
3-1/2x3x3" (oval); 2-3/4x4-1/2" (round)

Quantities are for 100% cotton fabrics. 

Cut Fabrics

Click on “Download this Project” to download the pincushion patterns.

1. Lay fusible interfacing, fusing side down, over oval and circle patterns. Use a pencil to trace each pattern once. Cut out interfacing shapes roughly 1/4" outside traced lines.

2. Following manufacturer’s instructions, press oval and circle interfacing shapes onto wrong sides of designated fabrics; let cool. Cut out fabric shapes on drawn lines. 

Make Pincushions 1. Remove lid from oval box; set it aside for another use. Paint outside of oval box with two coats of acrylic paint using the sponge brush, allowing it to dry after each application. Using fine-grit sandpaper, sand box until some of the original craft paper is visible. 2. Measure around outside of box to determine circumference. Using pinking shears, cut a strip of decorative paper 1/2" wide by circumference plus 1/4" for overlap. Center and glue 10"-long ribbon over paper strip. Adhere strip around box 1/4" from bottom edge using bookbinding glue. 3. Lightly coat outside of box with light brown paste wax; let dry. Buff box with soft cloth. 4. Run a thin line of tacky glue around inside top edge of box. Referring to photo, press a piece of 1-3/8x10" green rickrack into the line of glue so that half the rickrack shows above the box edge. 5. Referring to Oval Pattern, use heavy-duty thread and a running stitch to sew around pink print interfaced oval 1/4" from outer edge. Gently pull thread tails to gather oval until diameter is about 3". 6. Fill oval halfway with crafts sand. Stuff fiberfill into opening until full. Whipstitch opening closed. 7. Stuff fiberfill into bottom of painted box. Mold stuffed fabric oval to fit into the box; remove. Run a line of tacky glue around inside of box below rickrack edge; return stuffed oval to box. 8. Repeat steps 1–8 to make a second pincushion using round box and green print interfaced circle.
