Here’s a quick and fun little project – and it’s very handy! I wrote this pattern and prepared little kits for a quilt retreat as a make and take for each person attending. I find this very handy on my Passport sewing machine which is the one I travel with. Hope you enjoy it and I would love to know if you made one!
Materials: Strip fabric 2 1/2″ wide x size needed. (Decide where on the vertical portion of your sewing machine you want your pincushion and measure around, add 2 1/2″.)
Batting: cut rectangle 4 1/2″ x 4″ ; Velcro – 2 one inch squares; Tacky Glue or “Okay to Wash It” glue
Press under 1/4″ on one lengthwise side. Press under 1/4″ on each short end.
Batting: Starting at a short end, fold batting over 1 inch, then continue to end. Secure with a little glue. Place batting on center of strip.
Fold over raw edge of fabric, then finished edge. Glue the length in place. Stitch beside both sides of batting, as close to batting as possible.
Stitch short ends closed. Place around sewing machine and mark where Velcro should be placed. Sew Velcro in place.
Attach to your machine, fill with pins and enjoy!

I certainly do….and then on to Paducah….double miracles…what a Birthday Month I’ve had! Good to hear that someone is sewing…I’ve got a lot of catching up to do next week!
