Hi beauford! Thanks about the pincushion. I didn't have a pattern. You could do it without one.
Let me see if I could sum up what to do:
Use a 60 degree triangle to fussy cut six exactly matched triangles out of the fabric you would like for the top of the pincushion.
Sew together two pairs of the triangles and sew a third triangle onto each pair. You should have two halves of the top now, each with three 60 degree triangles.
Place the two halves, right sides together and sew down the center seam. Iron all the seams in one direction (ex: clockwise)
Now trace and cut out a matching hexagon out of a solid piece of fabric for the bottom.
Put the top and bottom right sides together and sew around the edges, leaving a gap to put in your stuffing. I stuffed it very tight with sawdust, but you could use wool or polyfill,...etc. Hand stitch your opening closed.
Hope that this helps you.
