Over the weekend I whipped up one of these simple pincushion organisers using Oh, Frannson!'s free tutorial on Sew Mama Sew. The tutorial was easy to follow and it turned out really well.
It's weighted with rice so it will perch on the arm of my couch. There's room for pins, needles, scissors, seam ripper and more. It even has a detachable scrap bag for threads and rubbish. I added a couple of buttons and a hair tie to hold a spool of hand-quilting thread. If only it could hand me a piece of chocolate I'd never have to get up!
Happily Mister Bell perches on the other end of the couch and dispenses the chocolate, lucky me.

I love this! If my couch had more structure, and less pillowy goodness, I would make one :) Yours is lovely, though (as is Mr Bell for passing you the chocolate!)
Oh my god, I love it! What a great idea and fantastic fabrics! I need one!
I had one of these given to me years ago & I Love it...Yours is Gorgeous..Love the Fabrics you have used...

Very pretty and practical! I love that bird fabric, I bought a green version in New York but can't remember who makes it and only have a tiny bit left!
And here I've been acting like the couch is one big pin cushion. Ahem.
What a fantastic idea with the buttons and hair tie!! Well done you
