Yowza, take a look at this pincushion–it’s today’s feature: Monkeyroom’s pincushion tutorial

The pincushion is reversible so you can choose two compatible fabrics and switch between having one as the outside and one as the pincushion. The original pincushion my mom made had safety pins between each of the spools of thread, which are strung on elastic. This is fine, but if you reverse the pincushion the safety pins will all be on the outside. It’s tedious, but I chose to stitch each of the thread pockets in place, leaving a gap for the elastic.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love pincushions? Here’s a refresher:
