Add some sweetness to your sewing studio with a fruit salad of pincushions - five designs included. Fresh Picked Pincushions can be used as decorations, ornaments, or sachets - and they make great presents too!

Materials

Pear, Apple, or Tomato
- 1/4 yd main fabric

- felt for leaves & stems
- stuffing

Strawberry
- 1/4 yd fabric

We like to stuff our pincushions with a combination of stuffing and ground nut shells. They give the pincushion more weight and sharpen needles.
