Egg Cup Pincushion

If you prefer small pincushions to save space on a busy/small desk this egg cup pincushion found on FaveCrafts may interest you. This is a similar process to using a teacup, just smaller and it uses an egg cup instead! This tutorial is by Christina Lane from The Sometimes Crafter.

I haven't used an egg cup in years; but then again, I haven't had boiled  eggs in ages ether! Makes me want to cook some up again.

There are many styles of egg cups out there, so I imagine you could create loads of different styles of egg cup pincushions. It would all depend on your taste. Perhaps a really fancy old fashioned one with some lacy bits of stuff on the edges of the pincushion bit, maybe. Yeah. What style would you go for?

As for the tutorial: there is a picture for every step, and there are nine steps! Easy right? Give it a go! 


Here is the tutorial.

Gift Box Pincushion

Know someone who loves to sew? They have a birthday coming up? Why not make them this nifty gift box pincushion!

Carolyn from Carolyn's Homework has made this great pincushion and gives a few tips on how she did it.

I like how neat this one looks, but the great thing about making your own is that you can go crazy! Use a brighter fabric with a pattern, or add a more fancy bow. You could even make the gift box pincushion smaller if you prefer. You could even make it Christmas themed if you liked.
