I recently held a class for the ladies in Wetmore. We created pincushions using photo frames and fabric.
I provided photo frames and poly-fil that I purchased at our local craft store. I got out my stash of fabric, buttons, charms, baubles, miniature wooden spools, pins, twine and ribbon and let the ladies design their pincushion to their heart’s content. What fun!
These make quick and simple gifts for any occasion.

Here’s Gertie’s creation.
Here’s Vivienne’s creation.
Here is mine. The bow is made from the hem cut from a turquoise linen napkin.
For this pincushion, Dee decided to cover her frame with fabric.
I hope these provide you with inspiration!
