    I've never even owned a pincushion! Never had a use for them. I use old Altoid or Brighton tin cans for my pins. I love the Brighton tins. They're so pretty!

    Great idea for quickie gifts. I'd make mine a sachet with a little baby powder or lavender oil, so I could toss 'em in any drawer when not in use. A few drops of clove oil would make the whole house smell like Thanksgiving or Christmas.

    I make a lot of pincushions, I have an order for lots of them, so that's what I am working on now. I love the owl one.

    for my owls (smaller ones & large one) i used the pattern from moda bake shop. to get the pattern to print smaller i just scaled it to an 8.5"x11" page. the original size of the pattern is the larger one.

    there is another owl pattern for really small owls at link below. just click through the pages to get the full tutorial.
