Who's been waiting for this one???? I really hope you enjoy making your own and love it as much as I love mine! Let me know how you like it!
And use #sewwithevelyn on social media on your own makes so I can see them too!!
Desperately me 😁😁😁
Love this tutorial!! Now, what about the small clips? How amd where would you use them?
Does it not pierce into your arm?
@@woshimami If you make it deep enough there shouldn't be a problem. Anyway, the bangle will protect your arm.
Thanks for greeting the “Gents” in the audience. I don’t feel so left out or like I shouldn’t be here. Thank you.
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
@@ronhorner4060 Bro. They're great loungewear. 🙃 Like really, they make great loungewear.
You are always welcome, dear!😉👍
Who needs that validation when u are here to make something..
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.
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.
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! 😁
B Smith great idea!
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.
@@kgs2280 Only tiny, but it saves another bit of plastic going to landfill. 😀
GENIUS!!!
Brilliant!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Evelyn, your beautiful hands really sell this project!
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. :)
YES!!!! Now to hit the thrift stores.
I made the pin cushion! I didn’t have a pillow I could steal stuffing from so I just reached into my couch cushion! Thank you!
😂😂 That's great!! Use what you've got!! I love it!
Steal from the dog bed. He won't mind
That’s so clever!
The couch cushion?!!! 😅😂😂😂
really enjoyed the pincushion. Thank you Evelyn
Sheila great Britain
Hahahaha ! That's MY pin cushion ! It's famous ! 😃😃
Thank you SO much for making them for us. Mine gets a lot of use, and I might make one as a gift now.
😀😀 Famous pin cushion! They make great gifts, as you know 😙😙 I bet you don't know how you lived without one right!
I love this Pin Cushion what a money savor.
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.
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!
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.
Brilliant ! I love this idea ! Thank you for sharing ! I hope you are healthy again .
Awesome idea!
I keep looking around for a favorite way to do a pincushion, and this just may be it.
I loved making the pin cushion.
I made a wrist pin cushion tonight and I found it really easy, I forgot it is a cuff pin cushion, thank you so much 😊
I’ve been wanting one of these for a while but didn’t want to pay the expensive price. Thanks for showing us how to make an even better than store bought one! Love your videos.
Im glad you like it!!! I think you'll make a super stylish one!!
You're such a good teacher
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.
Thanks for the tutorial. I used it as a starting point to make a pincushion using a keepsake from my mom. I love to make keepsakes relevant and useful!! Thought you would appreciate the creativity.
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 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
This video is gold Evelyn, thanks so much!
I made it today and love it. Thank you so much for sharing and making the instructions so easy to follow.
Found a watch that has a similar band with a hinge that opens it maybe an inch more turned out to make a great wrist pincushion. Thanks for the tutorial.
Yes,yes,,,i will make some. I was thinking black velvet…but you said coton…so i’ll do in black cotton.
You would love my bracelet…it was a gift from my dad in the late 50’s, i still love it as much as the day i got it.
So i need to go shopping for a similar one…at our thrift shops…wish me luck.from North Bay,On.Canada
Hello Evelyn. Thank you for making this tutorial. ❤
I love your videos and your taste in fashion
love it, now to go thrifting and see if i can't find a cuff bracelet for cheap! thank you!
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' 😁
It's the easiest pin cushion I 've have seen!! Thank you so much
I had some old tulle on a bolt. About 29 inches, wrap around 2 fingers to form the ball to put fabric around. Works great!
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
Ha ha I love that! You could continue the randomness and find a tiny stuffed animal to sew onto the cuff!!
Oh my gosh I had a stuff pig as a pincushion for years… only now I use way more pins….
Mentioned your tutorial (with link) in a Belgian/Dutch Amazon review!
A long - sought - after solution!
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.

I like your black velvet one with the pearl pins. It looks like actual jewelry :-)
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.
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!
Your'e welcome!! xx
Although I love your pin cushion, I prefer my snap bracelet. I remade mine in my favorite pink fabric and I added a decorative scalloped border that I (unintentionally) found to be a bonus spot for storing my fabric clips.
When the snap bracelet is open, it lays flat and upright for table use.
😃🥰🙌🏻
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.
You are an awesome teacher. Thank you for sharing this with me.
great. thank you for this explanation. Neat little trick to fold the material under the metal. i just recently made a wrist cushion as well as two finger cushions, Both w/ rubber elastic band. now inspired to make it in metal.
I love your wrist pin cushion. And I love all of your videos. I have watched so many of your videos. Love ya.
Speaking as one who has Never used a pin cushion, I heard your comment about NOT putting pins in your mouth, that I am guilty of! Although I have Never had a mishap, I wouldn't want my grandson doing that!! I will make one of your wrist pin cushions, see if I can get used to it!! thanks so much!
You just gave me an idea for 2 other sewers in my family. Thank You!
Brilliant!! I'm going to make one this week!!
My hubbies aunt turns 60 next year, I now know what I'm going to make her. Thanks Evelyn 😊💛
Perfect gift!!
I agree lots of scrunching to make it shaped just right. I tried velvet it was too thick. Yes, to cotton. So classy so vintage thank you friend
Thank you . Cant wait to make mine.❤
@Evelyn_Wood, I absolutely love this!! Thank you. Wishing you good health and all the BEST in 2024! 🥰🙏
Like your pin cushion.
Thank you, Ma'am for teaching us your pin cushion making. It was amazing.
I couldn't find a good bracelet to make mine so I did it with Velcro and I really like it :) I want to make another one to make it taller though :) Thank you for the great tutorial
I still have a cuff bracelet it will be my new pincushion Thankyou
So glad I found this tutorial because I wanted to make one like yours. Noe I have to wait till we can all go out again so I can go to a thrift store and find a bracelet.
Wow, its so nice i shall make one for my daughter as s gift, thsnkyou for the idea
Yay! I've been wondering where you bought your pin cushion. Now I know! So simple. Weekend project: Family Thrift Store for cuff bangles.
Very pretty and easy nice job love it
I used my sewing machine for the first time today and worked out how to change the stitch and I love the pin cushion... must make one soon.
I am stealing this one! Such a great idea! My Velcro pincushion has been driving me crazy!!
Thank you I used to have one but all of my notions and sewing machine was stolen several years ago and I haven't gotten it all built back up yet thanks again,love your videos your great
Last year, after watching your videos on sewing tools that beginners should have, I decided I wanted a wrist pincushion! Since I didn't know how to make one, I sewed a regular pincushion onto a cuff bracelet! LOL. It works, but it's big and bulky. Now I can try to make the Evelyn Tested version!
haha I love you just went ahead and figured it out! That's what I did! Let me know how this one goes!
I was desperate evelyn for a tutorial on the wrist pincushion off i go to my sewing room to have a bash at making one! Your a star thankyou .
Wonderful!! Janet I'm so glad your excited to make your own!! You will love it!!
Thank you. I'm going to make one!
Evelyn, hello. I made one of your wrist pin cushions and I found that adding some cut out plastic from an ice cream container lid and placing it in the bottom of my cushion was a great help so that the pins did not end up pricking me. I hope this suggestion is of help to someone else. I truly love using mine. Thank you for the idea and lesson on how to make one. I really love your channel and thank you for all your time and effort you put into them. You are wonderful ❤
Great idea. Fashionable and useful. I enjoyed the way you explained how not to stress, "no big deal ". You're adorable. This is on my to do list.
Aw thanks! It's just sewing, what can go wrong right! 😀
@@Evelyn__Wood one of my sewing tutor friends used to say "it's not rocket science!" LOL
Really liked the pin cushion. Great.
Thanks you so much! I will be making one soon. Just wondered, has anyone ever stuck a pin through the open parts of the bangle? I think I would want a solid piece of something under the fabric to stop the pins. I use long quilter's pins. By the way, love your style!
Wool 🐑🦙 is great as a stuffing as it keeps the pins from rusting. Love these!
Thank you , going to try today !
Ohh. What a great idea for a gift for our sewing friends.
Gia is a grat sewing gift!!!! They would love this from you I'm sure!
I definitely noticed your wrist cushion in your videos. Thanks for the tutorial! ☺️
Thanks for watching!! 😀
Thank you so much for sharing! I've admired your pin cushion bracelet for a while and am just now starting on my sewing education - so excited to now be able to create this! I think it will make my sewing journey much more easy and fun! Also that dress with the pockets and black loose ties at the color is amazing!
Shopping for a bangle in the morning! Thank you for another great tutorial Evelyn.
Yay!!!
Just lost my old wrist pincushion (with elastic band, we made those in the 3rd grade) somewhere, so I guess I have to start searching for a a bangle!
Ah, ThankYou for sharing!
i cannot wait to make my very own wrist pen cushion. Thanks for the lesson. It looks easy and I'll send a pic when I get mine made. Thanks again Evelyn.
Excellent!! You'll love it! Can't wait to see it!
I can’t wait to do this as a Christmas gift for my nieces who are learning to sew this year. Their classes don’t take adults so I am learning in Vintage Sewing School right now. We are having fun learning together. Thank you so much!
I love you planned to match your pin cushion to your wardrobe!
I stuff my pin cushion with steel wool and it’s perfect because it’s cheap and it sharpens your pins too. I wrap them in felt for crafting.
Dose it really work???
I do the same, and it keeps my pins nice and sharp and even cleaned the rust off some that had rusted. I made my pin cushion on the cut off end of a sock. Sock shrunk in the wash but fits my wrist perfect!
I watched this video a year ago and wanted to make one of these awesome wrist pin cushions, but I couldn’t find a cuff bracelet that was just right. Now, here I am a year later, and I finally have made one of these for myself! I gave up trying to find a cuff locally because there apparently just aren’t any, so I did what I always do: looked on Amazon, and found the PERFECT one! It’s made of silver filigree which is excellent for poking your needle through to attach your fabric & stuffing. It was only $4 or $5, which I feel was totally worth it. Not only is it perfect for making this pin cushion, but it’s really pretty! Which is a definite bonus 👍🏻 I just finished making it and it looks wonderful; I’m so happy that it all came together . Thank you again for an awesome tutorial! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love your wrist pin cushion and was very pleased to find this tutorial. Thank you for sharing.
Haha I was just about to ask on another video and looky here!
It's incredible how this small object can be so important ! I made myself 3 of them some years ago, the first one is a pumkin, the two others hedgehogs and I still like them. But I must admit that they are not practical and I am always searching them everywhere. Yours are a very good idea and the tutorial is excellent, as usual.
Thank-you Evelyn.
Really great idea, I may try and fix the stuffing in a stocking first to help hold the shape first, who knows it might work.
Christina Tippers, great idea!
I’m making one of these now!
Oooo..i love this. On the hunt now for the bracelet part...thanks so much..🙂
I’ve been waiting for this, I knew Evelyn would share this one day.
I love watching your chanel. You are so helpful!
Such an elegant idea ❤️ Thank you! I will definitely make one for myself, but I will add a cardboard base between the cushion and the bangle to avoid stabbing my wrest by accident 😄
Great minds think alike. I had the same idea, too. I want to make mine from sterling silver, so do not want to scratch the cuff under the stuffing.
Very cool!! An essential yet personally tailored piece of sewing equipment!! It's so stylish that everyone wants one!!
As a"guy", I have to figure out ... 'cause I am a little tired be of digging in the flat 'pimento' jar for what pins I need. The wheels are turning and spinning LoL!!
I have a granddaughter that is just learning to sew. I have been wanting to make her a pin cushion. This is s great idea if I can find a bangle that will fit her tint wrist.
I adore that I have everything I need to make this just lounging around my room. Thank you!!!
I love this tutorial
I have some store bought cheap plastic wristlet pin cushions that always hurt my wrist because they gouge into the skin. I’m so excited to try this and looks like it will hold a large amount of pins. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much. What a great project. I have one I bought that I’ve been using for years which really doesn’t fit properly and continuously stab myself. I am making one like yours ASAP. I also like the black because you can see the pins more easily. You are very inspiring. Thank you again.
Nice tutorial very handy. Excited to see more thrift to vintage. Also just wondering/ hoping if you could do a vid on tips for different vintage styles depending on body shape? I have a large bust and adore thrills but I would love to learn what collars/ bodice shapes minimise that area. X
Thanks for watching!! I will have more Thrift to Vintage coming soon!! Thankyou for the video suggestion 😙
Made a couple they are great!
