I've never even owned a pincushion! Never had a use for them. I use old Altoid or Brighton tin cans for my pins. I love the Brighton tins. They're so pretty!

Great idea for quickie gifts. I'd make mine a sachet with a little baby powder or lavender oil, so I could toss 'em in any drawer when not in use. A few drops of clove oil would make the whole house smell like Thanksgiving or Christmas.

I make a lot of pincushions, I have an order for lots of them, so that's what I am working on now. I love the owl one.

for my owls (smaller ones & large one) i used the pattern from moda bake shop. to get the pattern to print smaller i just scaled it to an 8.5"x11" page. the original size of the pattern is the larger one.
