Sewing Buddy Pincushion

December 30, 2024 By A Spoonful of Sugar - Leave a Comment

Introducing the Sewing Buddy Pincushion! This charming pincushion features a handy pocket for scissors, an economy block perfect for fussy cutting, and a small tag. Ideal for holding pins, needles, clips, and scissors, it’s a sweet gift for any sewist. Get organised for 2025 and put your favourite scraps to good use in this quick afternoon sewing project.

Are you new to foundation paper piecing? If so, the Sewing Buddy is the perfect, achievable, small project to get you started. The pocket of this pincushion features an economy block. Check your novelty fabrics for the perfect print to showcase in your pincushion. I used tomato prints from Ruby Star Society fabric in my stash. The pocket is finished with satin piping which gives a professional finishing touch.

The pincushion is sized at 3 x 5 inches. Fun size to add to your sewing kit. These make a sweet gift for sewing friends.

A small pair of embroidery scissors fit in the pocket. You can also use the pocket to hold binding clips, small ruler, unpicker, or other small tools.

It is fun to combine your favourite prints, piping, and ribbon/tags to make a one-of-a-kind pincushion.

The Sewing Buddy Pincushion is a 15-page PDF Downloadable sewing pattern that is available in our Pattern Store and Etsy Shop.
