Have you made a gadget cushion and if so what filling did you use?
This is the first time I have sewn a pattern printed on fusible inter-facing. The quilt store sold the pattern that directed you to this link for a video on how to make it.

My question is : What is your preference when filling the cushion?
I used crushed walnut shells because I am using it for a pincushion. I dislike the smell of the shells. The next one I make, I would like to try a different filling that smells better as I am going to use the gadget cushion as a cell phone rest.
Thank you for your ideas!

I grow lavender and add that to the shells prior to filling the cushion. You could also use essential oils mixed with the shells prior to filling. Just make sure the shells are dry before you add to cushion.

I made a mini tuffet, and the bottom I used a cylindrical piece of foam covered with muslin, then I topped it with steel wool. It works well for using as a pincushion, and I had steel wool on hand, not walnut shells.
