I've never made a pincushion before (can you tell I am new to sewing?), but Lynnie sent me an adorable pin cushion in the secret pal swap, which got me thinking about them, and now I see this swap! I was searching the net and there are many free tutorials for pin cushions, so I am thinking between now and September 15th, I should be able to make a few to practice and get one right to swap. I'm sending you a pm!
