What do you like to use to fill your pincushions?
like one of the other replies I have used scraps, cotton balls, and i did save some sawdust from one of my DH's projects for the next one. The one I have made [vs the one i inherited!] are usually made using jar or bottle lids and then a circle of scrap material gather to fit and glued into the lid. I did get some very cute patterns from a library book " Pretty Little Pincushions" Lark books 2007, Susan Brill ed. - maybe I'll do one of those!
