60 Free Pincushion Patterns
Newly Updated List!
I’ve pruned out the links that no longer worked or were no longer free (thanks for the heads up Linda!), fixed a few that have moved and added over a dozen new pincushion patterns and tutorials.
If you’ve been through this list before, everything after #44 is new to the list (#58, #59 and #60 were previously featured here on Tipnut).

Hey, thanks for linking to my tutorial, I hope your readers enjoy making my pincushion!
You’re welcome Fern, it’s a great pincushion! Thanks for the mention on your blog too

Hello, your site is very cool and I would like to thank you for the link. If you have a button, I am glad to add to my side bar (links).
Take Care,
The Pincushion Confection link, #20, isn’t working. Thanks for such a great site! I love it!
What a great site! Thanks so much for the ideas!

I can’t seem to find the pincushion pattern, with pincushion in the center and small spools of thread around the cushion. If anyone has this I would appreciate it. Thank You Uiva Tubbs
I think it’s #24 on the list that you’re looking for uivatubbs, Monkeyroom’s Pincushion Tutorial.
Hello!
I wanted to tell you I think this is a fantastic site and I am a subscriber to your newsletter. I wanted to know how to submit a free pincushion pattern? I have a simple one on my flickr account that I would love to share.
Thank you!

Hi Lotus, you can send me the link by using the contact form here: Contact, I’ll check it out. Thanks!
What a great compilation. I especially like that most use recycled materials. I’m going to have a good time trying them out. Thanks.
Thanks so much! Not just for the inclusion but for the little bit beside the link. You made me smile.
Hey, I just clued in that my teacup pincushion was linked here. Thanks very much for including me!
I bought a crocheted heart shaped pin cushion in an antique store & it was dirty so I washed it (by hand) but the ruffled satin ribbon that was all around the edges that sort of stand up in peeks …fell apart. Does anyone know how to put more ribbon through the edges & do that folded, ruffled look ?
Thanks so much
