I have been looking at the thrift stores, for "bottoms" for pin cushions and have come up with a lot of cute, cheap, things to use.........now, when am I gonna have time to actually make them.......I bought a box of steel wool scrubby things, to put in them (somebody on here said to do that, to make the pins sharp)..has anyone seem the cute "sewing machine" one that is at Tuesday Morning...... I wanted one, but thought it was a bit expensive for my tight budget.

I have a herd of elephant pincushions (13) I like pincushions too! I think it is a neat collectible!

Love the pincushions but only have one that I stick needles in. I have a few magnetic bowls and things to keep them contained to the sewing table but if I knock them off I have another magnetic stick that sweeps them all up. After getting a needle under my kneecap years ago (yes it's possible and yes it takes painful surgery to remove it) I am very careful about keeping my floor clean. I hate carpet in the sewing room but that's what I have so make the best of it.

You can never have too many pincushions! I keep most of mine on a top shelf. I use a triple decker my friend gave me; love it!
