[@nancybeameachum5054]

Oh my goodness sweet lady 👋🏻 you’ve won my heart with absolute adorable pin cushions; what a GREAT IDEA!!! 👍🏻My hat 👒 off to you!!!🎉👌🏻

[@ndurrett808]

OH MY!!!!!!!! I love you!!!!!!! You are the coolest sewing aven I have ever seen. I absolutely LOVE your style and you have really inspired me. Thank you Lori. You are now my newest YT celebrity/friend. Never stop making these awesome videos. I am from Hawaii and have collected lots of vintage island fabrics from the 30's-70's I will be on the hunt for nostalgic wooden bowls cups and other pieces to try my hand with. Mahalo nui loa, Lori

[@martharash3987]

Love your pincushions and your tutorial. Your voice is very soothing.

[@cathypurdon1911]

I’m a little late to the floss tube party but I’m hooked! Sew love sitting here stitching watching you, Kristie and lots of other ladies I’m enjoying! I have a mini mini truck Annette made for me. Love all of yours ❤️❤️

[@countrydarlin8212]

You've done an amazing job of recreating vintage fabric. The colors and patterns are spot on. I watched your 'about me' type video, and discovered you grew up in the time frame when these colors and patterns were popular, and that you grew up around sewing, quilting ladies. I had a somewhat similar experience, and distinctly remember the fabric of the day. I'm always scouring flea markets and yard sales for vintage sheets, pillowcases, kitchen linens, etc., because I love the prints and designs. If I could sew, I'd buy every fabric you put out. They are lovely.

[@leeannroberts9019]

Thank you for the video! I have a small baby bootie vase from when I was born 55 years ago. Will be perfect. I knew I saved it for something special.

[@nancy-katharynmcgraw2669]

That brings to mind, I still have my Daddy's bronzed shoes from 1926.... ooo, I hear a twin pin cushion coming to life!!!

[@lorettavalmorbida7793]

They are great. Love your pin cushions.

[@DixieGirl9876]

I've always loved your vintage pin cushions. I like to make them in the lid of mason jars so it fits on top and can still open, I fill the jar with sewing notions for gifts. I have a vintage mouse with cheese planter that was my grandmother's I think I'll make one with it, thanks as always for the inspiration.

[@starbrown1219]

I am so glad that you have decided to make videos. This is so great. I love how you teach how to make things with lots of tips. Thank you.

[@perkyperkins7768]

You rock, thanks for your visit. I love seeing your videos.🤗

[@margaretjohnston8055]

Such a wonderful collection of pin cushions. I love your idea of using the teapot as a sewing caddie.

[@1wildwackywoman]

I love your creativity with all the different pin cushion bases. I’m inspired!

[@beautybug1831]

Your pin cushions are, by far, the prettiest and the most unique I've ever seen! Thanks a lot for your inspiration!

[@christycleary216]

I love the pin cushions. My husband and I enjoy going to antique shops. I can't wait to go hunting for "pin cushion" ideas. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I have a few head vases. Never thought about making a pin cushion out of it!

[@bonitabren1395]

I'm from Minnesota. I've been making the exact same pincushions for 2 years now. It's addicting. So cute too.

[@AmandaSmith0529]

I love that you have your own channel now! Your bread pan pin cushion has always been a favorite of mine ❤️ I need to find me little pan to make one for myself.

[@paolameza4448]

Great collection Lori. Love all you design.

[@brendafoley6995]

[@brandyfox9607]

Hi Lori! I’m so excited to see you have your OWN KZbin channel 🎉 I love all your videos and tutorials from all the channels you are on. I am currently making your Granny’s House pillow for decoration in my sewing room 😍

[@faithscott6486]

My 12 year old granddaughter made one out of a Barbie bath tub!

[@starrp8951]

I found a mug that looked like one of my cats. It is too cute to drink from so I turned it into a pin cushion. Always makes me smile when I see it.

[@petmomful2260]

Adorable! My brain is swirling with ideas now!

[@aanon5716]

[@VirginiaSmith-bp8vo]

[@pywagner]

You constantly amaze me with your creativity! I love the idea of giving the vintage items a new life! Thanks for another great small project to do!

[@sandys7118]

Lori I am so glad you have your own channel now! I love these pin cushions and love your ideas and patterns!!!!! I am looking forward to more videos from you!

[@julieharden158]

Lori these pin cushion are gorgeous and I love the rocking chair and your yellow sugar bowl. I’m definitely going to look for items to make these lovely projects. Thanks for sharing x

[@marijowakley7770]

I'm cleaning out my grandkids' toy room as they've grown out of it. Lots of little dishes and containers! Can't wait to make some cute gifts. Thank you for this fun video!

[@janetseals1760]

I can’t wait to make one. Next time I’m at the flea market I will have to look fo some vintage items 🙂

[@ruthm4749]

I have been collecting items like these for this very reason. I have such a collection of bits of fabric to use up, thanks for more inspiration to get busy.

[@dogvetusa]

Great way to add function to a keepsake

[@grandmastraw]

Easy peasy is right! Oh boy, I’m dragging out all my vintage stuff I’ve gotten from my older family members and start making pin cushions. Thank you Lori! Great tutorial.

[@smchalk3535]

What a wonderful idea. Great way to give new life to these objects.

[@DL-by8el]

I wish I would have seen this before my folkes estate sale. Mom had tons of old clothed pins.

[@trduesing4117]

I’m so glad you are using wool as the filling! Wool does not promote rusting the pins. Polyester is a pin killer!

[@beautybug1831]

Good to know! TFS 😎

[@marlenecollier8979]

What a fun idea! Now I need to go to the thrift stores when we can go shopping again so I can make a few of these pin cushions. Thanks Lori for this great tutorial. I am really liking your videos.

[@ms.michealhodge1243]

Just bought a ceramic Victorian shoe and I'm so excited to start making it into a pin cushion!! Thank you for sharing your way of making pin cushion out of vintage finds!!💜😊💜

[@cookingwithelise]

Lori, you are so very creative! I can already think of several objects around my home that would serve as perfect vessels. Thanks you for the inspiration!

[@camsanders5756]

Oh my goodness, that little sugar bowl is ADORABLE (all the little pin cushions are)!

[@carollin121]

Another wonderful tutorial...makes me want to get back to thrift store shopping...thank you again Lori...such great instructions!

[@lilyfoss2924]

I am so excited that you have your own channel...Love all the videos thank you

[@thomasbrunette3456]

[@janissharkey7174]

Those are so adorable. I can’t wait to see what I have that I can make a pin cushion out of. Thanks.

[@jeanneluddeni3121]

What a great idea I love pincushions and I have a bunch of those antique things wonderful

[@laurafifer4453]

I have done so many pin cushions, now I have run out of places to put them and people to give them too. Milk glass looks beautiful turned into pin cushions. Love your truck!

[@dianneeverett1633]

Sew cute. My favorite are the heads.

[@cherylwinstead8969]

Love all of these! I am also an antique shopper and these would make wonderful gifts for my fellow sewing friends.

[@TheMarvelousBeautyChannel1]

I'm in love with all your pincushions. I have so many vintage items and didn't really know what to do with them. Most of which I obtained from my grandmother who has since passed. Some are thrifted because I'm a huge Crystal and glassware collector. Now, I know what to do with them. I have only recently considered the idea of starting to sew but I do make handmade journals so I definitely need something to keep my needles in. Lord knows I'm always looking for one when the time comes to sew in a signature. 😅

[@dianemorici4062]

I absolutely loved the ideas in this video...that little rocking chair is sooooo cute! I can't wait to hunt down some cute containers once my state opens back up. Your fabrics are so beautiful too! Please keep making videos about these types of projects - they're great! -Diane

[@beverlyhamilton5688]

Fantastic ideas... thanks for sharing!

[@katywuste9054]

The rocking chair 🪑 can’t get over how endearing it is

[@pamketron]

So cute and whimsical. Love all the different vessels you use as your base for these. Going to go shopping in my house to see what I can come up with! Thanks for the inspiration. Everybody needs a cute pincushion. I made a bird out of fabric that I use as my pincushion. Will be making another one with whatever I find that is whimsical and not thought of as a pincushion. PS - Love the loaf pan idea with needed notions tucked in all around it. Perfect to take to your sewing spot and have everything you need in one cute place! Genius! 💕☀️🐝

[@helenfields2318]

I love that you are shopping in your house.

[@eirika2001]

Some great ideas - love your fabric choices as well!

[@jcrefasi1]

The metal sugar bowl handles reminded me of angel wings lol. Cant wait to shop my own bric-a-brac for bases for pin cushions

[@conniemarie2005]

Cute pincushions Lori! I need to see what I can gather together to make my own. Thanks 🧵

[@estrellitamarinera1839]

[@wooleygirl5240]

Adorable! I have several toys and other little planters to make some of these! Thanks, Pam Miller

[@nanamjbri]

I’m so glad I came across your channel ♥️ ALL those pin cushions are so adorable 😍

[@anitavisram8346]

Hello Lori I have a couple of pin cushions which I made. The problem was every time I picked one up I would get wounded by the pins sticking out the bottom. So I thought I had better make thicker/bigger one. Then this morning I found your Web site. Whoopee I can't wait to make a pin cushion from something in my kitchen or an ornament. Brilliant idea. Best wishes to you and thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@vickiprofant]

Love your collection! 📍 Great video, thank you! 🥰🤗🙏

[@cindybecker3200]

I just love the mini bread pan ❤️

[@christinenewell4587]

That was such a good idea. Being a 'Vintage' person myself and had my mother living with us for many year, I have LOADS of vintage items in my home. Non of my children want these things.... 'Dust collectors' mum! I've got 3 of those cute little cups with legs and spotty shoes.... Perfect for pin cushions....and I do lots of sewing so I can use them and have them out of the cupboard to look at again. Thanks for a good idea.

[@deejohnson2844]

Love it! I looking forward to making a few pincushions. Thank you Lori for a great idea!!

[@manuelitaruiz9783]

Love these, I will be hunting around for some potential pins cushion holder next time we go down to our lake house. Darling little town just South of it full of neat shops.

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

Love pin cushions and I have a few interesting ceramic planters. I’m going to be very busy!! Great video and your fabric is perfection!!!!!

[@carolberridge6102]

Thank you! Great ideas. Fabulous ideas for gifts---and still enough time before the holidays to actually make them. All the best to you.

[@marlahanks7278]

Well, guess I should have waited till the end---using a doll needle!! I have one of those :) That poker thing to tuck in the edges and the little bread loaf! What great ideas :)

[@sunflowergamesworld2817]
