Make a Pin Cushion Dish

Keeping on with the gift ideas, today I am sharing how to make a Pin Cushion Dish

I purchased these from the ‘cheap’ shop some time ago because they looked like something I could use!  🙂

They are dip bowls and as you can see, two for $5.99.

This is how I used them to make a Pin Cushion Dish!

What you need:

A dish

Scrap of fabric about 9″ square

Needle and thread

Filling

Glue  (I used a glue gun)

Ribbon to trim

Let’s craft!

  1. Trace around a bowl about 9′ or 23 cm in diameter

2.  Run a row of stitches around 1/4″ in from the edge – I did this by hand using double thread and starting with a knot.

3.  Gather it up

4. Stuff it with whatever you like in a pincushion – I used polyfill

5.  Check to see if it looks puffy enough and then tie it off.

6.  Using a glue gun, run glue over the base and around the upper edge of the dish and push the pin cushion into the glue.  I held it till the glue cooled.

7.  Trim with a ribbon scrap to cover the dish edge.  I joined the ends on the side facing the empty dish.

Make it in a favourite colour, add some pins or threads and  there you have it – a lovely, very useful (and very cheap) gift for the sewists in your life!

I hope this inspires you to look at simple objects in a different way – Take a dip bowl and make it  into a Pin Cushion Dish – who’d have thought!

Until next time
