Sachiko Flower Tutorial

I love this Sachiko flower from Tea Rose Home. It has an easy to follow tutorial for making this pretty flower corsage. What a superb way to use those small bits of fabric to creating this pin. Go to the tutorial.

Wrist Pincushion Tutorial

Ellen from The Long Thread shows how to make this handy pincushion that straps around your wrist. This is such a simple sewing project, you can easily make one for yourself and for all of your sewing friends. Go to the tutorial.

I have been using wrist pinchusions for years. I couldn't locate my pinchusion if it was not attached to my wrist. Be careful, I forget when I don’t have it on and I try to stick a pin in my wrist. OUCH!

This is a great way to use all of those scraps we accumulate. These make great gifts for your sewing and non-sewing friends. If you are giving it to a non-sewing friend you may want to include a few pins and needles.
