You are probably thinking to yourself; what is the obsession with pincushions? Well admittedly I love them and we have featured a couple different ones; however, I have been asked to provide details on how you can make your own. I have created a FREE download with a template and instructions. This is a great project that will add a pretty touch to any sewing or craft space. It will also make a great gift for someone special.
