Wool Sweater Pincushions

by Cathy on December 19th, 2006

Here’s a last, last minute gift to make. This is from Bernina but I can easily see how this can be made by hand or with a regular machine.

Here’s how Bernina describes it:

“Our grandmothers knew the best pincushions were made of wool. Let wool’s natural lanolin oil preserve your pins with this fast, fun way to recycle an old wool sweater into a new one-of-a-kind pin keeper.”

This would be a great addition to the Cheery Sewing Supplies Basket.
