I have read a lot of posts recomending different things to stuff pincushion's, but have never seen anyone using used coffee grounds. I remember when I was in my 1st year 4-H many many years ago, we had to make a pincushion and it was recomended to dry used coffee grounds, and use them. I still have that pincushion! It has to be 65 years old! I used brown velvet fabric. Don't remember if I got a ribbon or not!
