- Join me today as we sew some adorable pincushions! These make a great gift for anyone who sews. I bet you can't make just one - they seem to multiply!
For today’s project you will need:
Two 5.5” squares of fabric
Two pieces of fusible fleece (I used Pellon 987)
Polyfil or crushed walnut shells, rice, beads, etc for filling pincushion
Decorative button
Embroidery floss, pearl cotton or button thread
Regular sewing needle and also a tapestry needle
Fabric marker
1/4” foot
Thimble and grabber
Pins, sewing machine, scissors, rotary cutter, ruler and iron
I used a 1.8 mm stitch length for this project.
The other sizes I showed were cut as:
Rectangle was cut as: 2 @5.5" x 7.5 (fusible was 5.25 x 7.25") and I cut a 1.5" square from the edges.
The smaller square one was cut at 5" and I used fusible fleece cut at 4.75" and a 1" square cut from each edge.

These pincushions are so cute.
My grandmother always saved every button & kept Mason jars full of them. A special treat as a child was getting to take a jar & look thru all the buttons. I love buttons.
Yes, looking through my grandmother's button jar was always fun! One of our granddaughters used to love to come over and empty mine onto the floor in front of her and look through them and sort them by color and size. Thank you for sharing your memories!
Wow these are so cute those buttons brings back the memories of my Gramma her pillows on her couch that we couldn't you touch thank you for sharing
The button adds a nice touch to the pincushion.
I have a fabulous cookie tin full of buttons I inherited from my grandmother. Just love them. But it has to be a special project for me to use them. 😊
Really like this pin cushion and have a special button to use.
Those pin cushions are adorable. Great tutorial. We also called that style of footstool a hassock. Haven’t heard that word in many years. I have the perfect button for this project.
Those pincushions are cute as a button
such a nice way to use up unique BUTTONS!!!
Who does not like a pretty button? I have buttons that were my grandmothers and my mothers. When I was teaching I used to take them to school and let the class count them. We would put them in groups of 10 and count by tens. We would also put them in different size groups, twos, threes, fives, sixes, etc. I was a second grade teacher so that worked well for that age group. The class loved looking at these buttons, too. Who knows, some may have gone home with them. 😮😮😅
Rewatching because I’m making one for me and one for a friend’s birthday. Love these, as well as my scrappy wrist pincushion. That one’s soooo convenient! Thanks again, Marie! 💗
You’re so very welcome, Lynn! It makes me happy to hear that people’s like what I put out there. Have a great week!
I love your Button Pin Cushions especially the one with the green button
Thanks so much! I'm glad you found it helpful 🥰
Good morning, Marie & all! Lov e the pin cushions❤.
These pin cushions are so cute!! I love adding the button.. Reminds me also of the Ottoman from back in the day. My dad always had one with his chair.
Thanks for sharing so cute
Your pin cushions are nice. Your buttons selection are great also.
I like them both ways. Now to go find all the ingredients. Then to find one of my Dad's work buttons in My Mothers Button Box. It might take awhile though; I do tend to get lost in her box. Thank you for the great how to and tips.
Hi Marie. Thanks for this great tutorial.. I'll make one for me and a few for Xmas presents thank you. I love the way you explain all the steps... have a great day and hugs
These are cute pincushions! The button really sets them apart. And thanks for the handy hint about using the stuffing from pillows - I'm going to price that out here.
I have a lot of shirt buttons in my button stash as I go thrift shopping for men,s shirts to use in projects x
Beauteous and easy.
They are soo cute. I've never had a pin cushion before. I think I'll make some of these. The buttons are a great design to the pin 📍 cushions. Love them. Thanks again for a great tutorial. Have a great day!
Perfect pincushions!!! The flower is Kowhai ~ pronounced Kor-fai 🥰 its a tree in NZ. Means yellow 💛
Thank you for the name (and pronunciation) of the floweron that gorgeous fabric. I passed it along to a subscriber who was trying to guess the name 😉
Great tutorial, thanks for sharing
I have a few jars of buttons, I collect them when I can find them at the flea market or thrift store. The pincushions are really cute.
Marie, what happy pincushions! I think I’ll make some Valentine-themed ones. I finally got some crushed walnut shells and some emery sand and made your wrist pincushion last week. I’m really late to the party on that one! Haha. 😂 I have some great wood buttons to use on this project. Thank you, Marie. I hope your health has been good. Stay warm!
I like the fact, that your pin cushions are so high. I made one a long time ago and it was thinner. The pins come out through the bottom of the pin cushion and I am constantly picking myself with the pins. I will have to make myself a new one. The old one, that I have, I put two buttons on it. One on the top and one on the bottom.
Some of my very special buttons I brought to the US I don't dare to use and just look at them once in a while 😆
Thank you for a great tutorial!!
This is adorable and will make a wonderful idea for my ladies in my quilt classes! You are such a talented lady with wonderful ideas. Keep them coming we love them!!! I love to share your channel with everyone of my free quilting classes. Okay so all my quilting classes are free, yet another reason your channel is invaluable to me. Scraps makes affordable beautiful fabric. Thank you for your kind heart Marie.
Good afternoon Marie-
What an excellent tutorial, I will definitely be making a pincushion or 2😝
Button- do I have any?!?!! 🤔 uh yep sure do,even button earrings!!! ❤️😀
Thanks for the tutorial! I love making pincushions. There’s just something about them. I’m going to try a button on each side. That way there’s no bottom side. 😊 Thanks again!
Button fun. Very cute
I have a huge collection of buttons. I have been giving some of my sets of buttons away to someone who has a little Quilt Shop. She has had people come into her shop looking for shirt buttons. I have given her a box full of shirt buttons (so she can let people go through the box to find a button like the one they need).
Nice job, buttons and all!
I love the buttons
Thanks, Rhonda!
What a wonderful idea to give our organ buttons a new awesome home. Thank you.
Forgot to say that is a very good idea to buy those pillows for stuffing. Never thought of that lol now I know.
I love those pin cushions. They are so cute! I have an old tin full of buttons my mother in-law gave me years ago. Someone scratched the year 1924 on the inside of the lid! Most all the buttons are very old.
Cute buttons.
Great use for all those extra buttons we all have❤
Cute as a button.
So thanks for bringing buttons out. I just got a jarfull at Christmas
I love those pincushions, the button gives it a nice touch!
Button, button who's got the button. Does anyone else remember that game?
I buy pillows too for the polyfil- much cheaper!
Love those, and I have the made with love button as well
Just what I have been needing! Thank you! My 1st time on!
these are so cute with decorative buttons. many thanks.
I just found a video on a style called biscornu pincushions, which I had never heard of. These are SO pretty! I have a "few" buttons (15 jars of varying sizes). And I *really* like your pincushion with the extra "flap" in the middle for your wonder clips. Now that I've seen it I don't see how I've lived without one in my sewing room. 🙂
I'll check it out! Thanks for watching and commenting! Happy sewing!
Your pin cushion is so cute. Love the tutorial. I recently bought some crushed walnut shells to make some pin cushions. Thank you
Walnut shells are perfect inside a pin cushion.I'm so glad that you enjoyed this video! Thank you so much!
Love this! Thanks :)
What a great way to use your odd buttons. I love the pincushions.
I have moved on to a second BUTTON box.
I wanted to thank you for sharing your pin cushion creation with a cute button. I was thinking if I made the wrist pin cushion, a box pin cushion with the button and a basket out of the same material(s) that it would be a cute Christmas gift for a quilter or crafty person.
You are so welcome! That's a wonderful idea, I love it! ❤️
Great tutorial - thanks
Glad it was helpful! 🥰
So cute and I have jars of buttons
Oooh, pretty buttons sound like fun and perfect for this project! Have fun!
Neat
On my computer's screen, they look like yellow Crocus flowers (also known as the first flowers of spring). I have seen Crocus bloom when the snow was on the ground many times. However, you will not get any Crocus flowers if you don't plant any Crocus bulbs. I have been buying small cups, pots, and other small items to make pincushions to fit into.
Interesting, I don't know a whole lot about growing flowers, but it's something my husband has been doing for a few years and we both have a lot of interest in them. Thank you for the advice! I found out the flower's name from my friend and she said it was called "Kowhai" (pronounced Kor-fai) and it's native tree in New Zealand. There, you taught me something and I taught you something, so I guess we both learned something new today, lol!
Wow
I meant orphan buttons.
What would you recommend for a filling which will help your pins & needles stay sharp a bit longer?
I have heard that a lot of people use crushed walnut shells, while others use steel wool. I have just always used batting. I don’t know if the other stuff really makes a difference or not, because I’ve never used it. Sorry, I don’t seem to be much help on your question, ha ha. I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!
Yes I got lots off Buttons wonky ones too 😂🪡🧵🤗
