My sister and I love sewing and dishes, so this will make a great Christmas present. Thanks, Kim
I’m not too sure how good it is for pins and needles to be used with styrofoam. Wouldn’t it dull the pins ? Maybe a better suggestion is to simply make a round ball of fabric and stuff it, then hot glue it inside the cup. If the ball is stuffed with pieces of cut up wool fabrics it would be a GREAT thing for your pins and needles as wool will help keep your sharp points. Just a thought.
