An Abby Bag is a pin cushion and trash/scrap bag all in one. The pin cushion sits on the table and the bag hangs over the edge. Extremely convenient! I need to find the pattern.

Those are really cute!

Here's a free tutorial for one that's similar:

You could make the pincushion any style you want - make it uniquely yours.

This is the same style that a dear friend made for me a few years ago. It's a very useful gift.

Here's another neat one:

Take your time looking through this one - lots of neat patterns including a wrist pincushion:

I have the same book as quilted dogs, and I made the bag with the sand filled pin cushion it is great, easy to make, and not much fabric needed.

8-) Good idea...they are so easy to make.
