The Long Thread has these great posts that publish on Mondays.. not every Monday, but quite frequently. Here's her latest post on how to make a flowerpot pincuishion. What a necessary tool and would look great with your new Threadbanger Sewing Machine, don't you think? Also, you could take this project one step further and decorate your flowerpot! 

I thought I’d try to make one of the little pincushions in a flower pot that I’ve seen lately. It requires no sewing! Ha, but you probably won’t want to make one of these unless you like to sew. I added a little felt flower (like the hair clips I wrote about in my last post) and a button. And I used this Liberty of London fabric again. There’s still some left, so you’re sure to see it more!

Supplies:

1. Cut fabric about three times the width of the top of your pot. My pot was 4″, so I cut a 12″ square.
2. Place some polyfill in the center and wrap loosely with a rubber band.
3. Continue stuffing with polyfill (as much as you possibly can, and then some).
4. Wrap rubber band around a few more times to tighten it.
5. Adjust fabric evenly and try it out in the pot.
6. Glue all around the inside of the pot, about an inch from the top. Quickly stuff in your fabric.

All done! Check out these flower pot pincushions from Betz White for some more inspiration.

We'd love to see your projects so post them in the forum! 

Thanks The Long Thread!
