Julie Cefalu, the designer behind The Crafty Quilter, posted a free tutorial on making a folded corner pincushion.
These are super cute and I simply had to make some for quick gifts!
One can easily make these from scraps, too! That is what I did.
The little pockets are great for a needle threader, clips, and a bobbin with thread!
These are easy to make, but ya might want to be sure that you start with the correct size square, if ya want yours to be the same size as Julie’s.
Right from the start, I picked up the wrong size square and then wondered why my pincushion wasn’t the right size. Ha, ha!
I stuffed mine with both polyfill and crushed walnut shells, and I hand sewed my opening closed.
My photos aren’t the best, so I suggest you hop on over to Julie’s site and check out her tutorial. She also offers a boxed corner version…a version that I’d like to make as well.
Julie’s instructions are clear, thorough, and show great photos!
Quilt On!
