She knitted no telling how long a strip about 4" wide, then rolled it up real tight, and voila, my most favorite pin cushion through many AF moves, and then other moves that the AF didn't pay for, and has gotten pretty dirty, but that's OK with me--it still holds a blue million pins of all sizes, plus needles and safety pins, and even my small seam rippers. Think about it, knitters, and do us a tute--only I can't knit--I would have to swap out quilting a quilt for her or some such; but I would welcome a new one.....
oldtnquiltinglady--Could you cut off the knitted waist band from an old sweater, zig zag the edges before it unravels, and roll it into a pincushion??
