With this book at the ready, prepare to secure your sewing pins like never before. Beginners and experienced sewists can create stylish pincushions in just a few easy steps – many in a single afternoon. They’re not only practical sewing helpers but also great for building quilting and sewing skills. All 20 projects use approachable techniques, including pieced quilt blocks with decorative applique, stitching, buttons, blocked corners, twisted pleats, and pockets. Designs range from traditional shapes to playful ones like frogs, sailboats, roosters, and flowers that can double as softies, paperweights, or bean bags. Each project includes step-by-step instructions and photos to guide you through the process. Author SusanClaire Mayfield encourages using fabric scraps and creative choices. The result is a functional, one-of-a-kind pincushion you’ll enjoy for years.
