Hi I made one of these pin cushion and I use it all the time I got my cup and saucer from a charity shop.

[@kathypowell3476]

This is absolutely fantastic, especially for people who cannot sew! I love it!

[@lindabrown7374]

So pretty! Will be making one for my sewing room.

[@elladuhon2297]

Very feminine, very pretty,sophisticated, cute and something so casually used every day, needs a little over dressing to attract ones eye so much so, you can barely pull you eyes away. Thank you ,Ella from Texas.

[@debbieshore]

+Ella Duhon Thank you, and hello to Texas!

[@georgiajoseph5445]

[@jacquelynallen5443]

This is wonderful....I think I know what the ladies at my church are getting for Mother's Day....I will do candy in the center instead of a pin cushion. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@debbieshore]

Jacquelyn Allen Nice idea, I may pinch that one!

I love watching your tutorials. I think I’ve seen you back when you were working for create and craft. You were showing a singer sewing machine which I purchased and I believe you had just found out you were going to be a grandmother!! Congrats!! I actually had found your pillowcase dress tutorial first!! You explain everything so wonderfully. Thank you so much for sharing

[@debbieshore]

Grandmother to two now! That's the best job!

[@annakelleher7932]

Very pretty. I have two coffee mugs that broke but want to turn into pin cushions. Thank you for your inspiring ideas:)

[@christinethomas8484]

I have made these before and it's hard to know when to stop decorating, these are lovely, great tip on using the nylon. x

[@sunniemontana]

I absolutely love this cup. I am going to have to give it a try. Thank you for the great video.

[@knittingnanny64]

[@thehalloweeniesemporium580]

thank you so Much for this tutorial!!! my mother has a large collection of tea sets & I'm always looking for "tea themed" gifts. she also sews, so I think I will take one of my old teacups (& a saucer) to make this pin cushion for her...she will love it!!

[@debbieshore]

I think it could be the start of a new collection!

[@thehalloweeniesemporium580]

+debbie shore LOL... yep, ya never know!! :)

[@Momo01851]

The pin cushion is beautiful.tfs

[@WhiteStoneAcres]

I love your voice & accent, so soothing!

[@sandyallen3520]

This is incredibly cute, I love it! I don’t think hot glue will keep it stuck for the long run. The glue will come loose from the glass.

[@puppetjansen9032]

awesome creative project and you teach easily and nicely thank you oh and your dog thinks you are talking with him hahhahaha

[@debbieshore]

Glad you liked it!

[@SherryNerreau]

beautiful! thanks for sharing!

love your doggie

[@0JReynolds]

That is so cute

[@aprildegele1510]

For a very cheap (almost free except you had to buy the pillow at some point) wadding filler, you can use an old pillow. Just keep one that's outlived it's usefulness, scrap the outer bit as that's what you drool on, and use the innermost bits for stuffing. Matter of fact, if it's your cushion and your pillow, it doesn't matter what bits you use. Also, no one is going to lick a pin cushion, or chew the wadding ... so even the drooly bits can be used if it's yours. Also, if you use a bit of fluff just below the fabric and then stuff the rest with steel wool, that wool will help to keep your pins sharp every time you stick a pin in the cushion.

[@wendijackson8844]

Instead of gluing it in, leave it removable ad you can store little things in the cup: safety pins, bobbins, findings.

[@conniedetevis2119]

You are absolutely right, great idea for storage.

[@DoloresJRush]

Very cute!

[@moniquefox5830]

Adorable

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

Is this the dark flying saucer so the drawing pin on the bigger side can hide in the saucer so the sharp pin can go down and touch the floor

[@rosinyberg8747]

Super cute wagging

[@joelsandiford7847]

Perfect

[@judithmontan7115]

Lovely

[@helenabenfica7279]

[@uroojrajput5785]

so nice👍👍👍

[@jakirbhai1332]

Good work.

[@karenberhow7483]

Dental floss works well for the gathering.

[@TheWanderingWife]

Karen Berhow quilting thread is also good, since it’s much thicker.

[@catherinejackson5647]

Debbie shore you make the pin coos unsure are sow nit I love your bog

[@adrianaadriana7040]

que lindo!!!!

[@splitsjourney7020]

I have an idea do the same as this but use solid brown fabric in the cup and then make some small marshmallows using white fabric and stuffing then stick them next to the cup

[@debbieshore]

Great idea!

[@pateubank1788]

[@TheQuiltingStash]

To remove unwanted glue: use hot tip of the glue gun to reheat it and then wipe it off.

[@xvanilladropzxful]

gorgeous! can you use a different type of sock?

[@debbieshore]

I Don't see why not... Glad you like it!

[@rosimeireaparecida2130]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@nancyvalladares416]

Love this 💙 I'll be trying this. Will be selling Lol

[@IrmaPereira]

Beautiful except for the bow on the actual cushion. It would have looked better below from where you put it. 👍👍👍🌷🌷🌷🌷

[@TheWanderingWife]

Perfect use for all those knee highs that have lost their mates!

[@maxbtw41]

😍

[@qormi1000]

Debbie, how do you work out how much to charge for the pincushion if you want to sell the creations?

[@debbieshore]

I don't sell mine I'm afraid, but do take into account not just your materials but how much time it takes to make, does anyone else on here sell their items who could help please?
