Pincushion is a device for storing and organizing pins and needles. It is indispensable in sewing, embroidery, and other similar types of needlework. Yes, and in household use it is impossible to do without a pincushion. Of course, you can always put all the accessories in an ordinary plastic box or even store the needles on a cardboard tablet. But you must admit that it does not look very aesthetically pleasing. For those who like everything to be both convenient and beautiful, you can always try to do something with your own hands.

How to sew a needle bed yourself
It is known that there are several varieties of such accessories depending on the type of use. These are manual, tabletop and hanging. How and from what can each be made?
pad
This is the simplest and most familiar version of pincushions, which even a child can create. To work you will need:
- fabric - 2 pieces of equal size (7*7.5*5 cm);
- needles, threads in color;
- scissors;
- padding polyester filler;
- decor.
The creation process is quite simple:
- Two equal-sized squares are cut out of fabric.
- Both strips are folded face inward and three sides are sewn together to form a pocket.
- The fabric is turned inside out and filled with padding polyester through the resulting hole.
- The free edges are carefully sewn together with a hidden seam.
The resulting voluminous pillow can be left as it is, or decorated with ribbons, embroidered with beads, or stitched. As for the choice of fabric for such a needle bed, it is better to choose a dense and wear-resistant material. It can be denim, felt.
Interesting! The pillow can be made not only square, but also round, oval, heart-shaped, flower-shaped, cloud-shaped. Pillow hats look interesting and unusual.
Hanging
For those who like order and always work in the same place, you can make a hanging pincushion and attach it to a shelf or on the wall near the table. A product in the shape of a donut will look funny. To create it, it is better to choose such a reliable and convenient material as felt.
You will need:
- felt in three shades (decide for yourself what your donut should be like);
- colored threads;
- sewing accessories;
- filler;
- ribbon for loop.
The algorithm of actions is as follows:
- Three round elements with a hole in the middle are cut out of felt of each shade.
- One piece is shaped slightly irregularly to resemble frosting.
- The “glaze” is sewn to one of the bases. For beauty, the edges are sewn with a loop stitch.
- The lower part is hemmed to them, leaving a small hole for the filler.
- The donut is stuffed with padding polyester (cotton wool) and the seam is closed.
- Small stitches are made with colored threads on the top of the “icing”, creating the appearance of a sprinkle of sugar.
- A loop is folded from a piece of ribbon and sewn to the back of the “donut”. The product is ready.
