Okay, so I suppose this is an easy post. But I truly do not know what I would do without my magnetic pin cushion. I suppose I (or my husband and children) would step on pins more often. I love that you can sweep it over a pile of pins and they are “magically” instantly cleaned up. I also love that you can toss pins at it while you are sewing without fear of the aforementioned “pins on the floor” scenario.
You can get one on Amazon, or if you are even slightly crafty you could make a pretty one yourself – follow this tutorial from Miscellany of Me. By the way – I got this one from my mom too! Moms are good for that kind of thing, and it’s in my favorite colour!
Where do you store your pins?

I put my pins in a pincushion I made of a leftover from my favorite fabric. Somtimes, when i put a neadle in it, it would disappear in it… 🙂
Ha! I’ve had that happen too 🙂 They tend to prick you at the most inopportune times after that!
