Does it not pierce into your arm?

[@lunasmum6869]

I know how you feel lol I have always been interested in sewing, thanks Grandma lol. I bought my first machine and then followed a You Tube tutorial to draft a skirt pattern lol It gave me experience in many ways, my first ever zipper :) It turned out that it did not fit but like, where would I wear it anyways LMAO

Who needs that validation when u are here to make something..

[@darknessiscoming5750]

The touch is very nice and so sweet, because sewing is not a hobby/career exclusively for women and it is easy to overlook the men who watch and enjoy her videos. It is very much appreciated. A hundred years ago it would be appropriate to call her a "doll" (yes, complement intended.). Sadly, this kind of respect and honor is almost completely gone in our modern society. This is one of the things I love about her.

[@cielfrance-therese5981]

Five years, pah! So I made one yesterday and it went well. Today I tryed a second one and added flapps to not only use it as a pin cussion but as a sewing clip cussion too. I addet a felt base because I realy fear to pin trough the padding. Know I am thinking, she will NEVER read that comment after all this years. But I feel it is important to Show, that Evelyns Videos still have an impact and inspire.

[@bsmith3915]

Great tutorial. Thank you. I made one today, super quick. Local store holding a sale, so I bought a bangle. I used the black velvet cushion that it sat on in it's box as the pin cushion. Oh, and as I can get a bit over keen when sewing, I put a cut down to size old credit card at the base so that I won't pin myself. And I only drew blood once when sewing the cushion to the bangle. RESULT! 😁

[@nlm6054]

B Smith great idea!

[@kgs2280]

B Smith, i really like your idea of using an old credit card for the base. I kept envisioning having to make the stuffed part really tall to keep from getting poked by the needles going through the open spaces of the bracelet. I was thinking I’d have to measure the length of the pins and stuff higher than that length so that even pushing them in all the way wouldn’t prick me. And cutting out a piece of metal and forming it to fit the bracelet would be way too much work! (Yes, i do overthink things!). The credit card solves all of that. Thank you.

Im glad you like it!!! I think you'll make a super stylish one!!

[@OHlookSHINYthing]

I made a couple of pincushions using scrap fabric as filler about a year ago. I struggled getting the pins to go in. Last week I took them both apart and refilled them with different filler, and now they work great. I've been on a pincushion kick lately, and these bracelet ones look really fun.

[@miracudrag]

You're such a good teacher

[@joannacollins9334]

Excited to have a go at this one. I use so many random things as pin cushions. Right now it's a small stuffed pig

[@Evelyn__Wood]

Ha ha I love that! You could continue the randomness and find a tiny stuffed animal to sew onto the cuff!!

[@TheScrappingirl]

Oh my gosh I had a stuff pig as a pincushion for years… only now I use way more pins….

[@sheilabennett5429]

really enjoyed the pincushion. Thank you Evelyn Sheila great Britain

[@inforestsweheal]

This is really nice. I wouldn't say it's easy, but certainly simple... requires quite a bit of tucking etc., but totally doable and worth it! Thank you for the idea. I made one and will probably make more since I want to perfect it a bit more. :)

[@debbieg4951]

This is hands down the best sewing tool that I own. I pick it up and use it every single time. Thank you so much for sharing this!

I always notice it in your videos. I thought you bought it a fancy shop because it is so pretty! I’m definitely going to try this. Thanks Evelyn!

[@animecrow8882]

So just made my own pincushion finally. Though added one extra to it. A bit of steal wool to help keep the pins sharp. Heck if I can remember where I heard that from. Thank you for making your videos.

[@dianadivadiamond]

I never thought it was that easy to do. I think I'll try this out because I really do need one. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

I am stealing this one! Such a great idea! My Velcro pincushion has been driving me crazy!!

[@belindarichardson5349]

Can't wait to make one. And yes ever since watching that video if I'm pinning or easing I have the mantra running through my head 'if it doesn't pin nicely it won't sew nicely' 😁

[@LVXMagick]

Yesss! I bought a bangle off a non domestic site we'll say, jt looked pretty in the pictures and didn't expect it to be real silver but at least expected it to be silver plated metal...it was not. It was horribly cheap looking silver painted plastic. I thought I wasted by dollar, but I did keep it on the off chance I could use it somehow. I got a life lesson and a pincushion bracelet for only a buck. Can't beat that.

[@oskarmolly]

You just gave me an idea for 2 other sewers in my family. Thank You!

[@moniquebexplorer8237]

I went to my second hand store and bought three bracelets. I have a lot of fabric at, so now I need some stuffing. I really enjoy your channel because I always learn something and I like your sense of humour. TFS

[@karmynkeevy9915]

Yes! This is what I needed. Literally, my pins roll around on my sewing table and are never where I need them. I'm totally making this. Thank you!

[@Evelyn__Wood]

Your'e welcome!! xx

[@ronhorner4060]

My project of the day :) Sadly the bracelet I had available required some of my medieval armor making skills to be bent back into shape lol I chose a solid bangle so I will not be poking the pins through into my wrist.

[@tomfromoz8527]

I use wool to stuff my pincushions. I chopped off the top half of one of my husbands discarded Stockman wool socks and rolled it up. I then covered it in a cotton scrap, and added elastic to fit my wrist. The lanolin in the wool keeps the pins from rusting, and helps them slide into any fabric easier. You can use new wool roving as well if you prefer new, or can't find a wool sock. > Tom's wife Pam
