How to Sew a Wrist Pincushion

Follow these steps to sew your own wrist pincushion:

• Download and print the free PDF pattern . Alternatively, you can cut two circles from the fabric with a diameter of about 10 cm. You can use a cup or glass to draw the circle.
• Cut one rectangle from the fabric with the length of twice your wrist measurement and the width of about 5 cm. This will be the wrist strap.

• Fold the wrist strap in half with the right sides together and sew along the long edge. Turn the strap right side out and press it flat.

• Fold the raw edges (1 cm) inwards and pin them in place. Leave a gap of 2 cm in the middle of the strap. This is where you’ll insert the elastic band later.

• Cut the elastic band to the length of your wrist and thread it through the gap using a safety pin. Sew the ends of the elastic band together and close the gap.

• Sew the strap to the middle of one of the circles, making sure the seam is on the wrong side of the fabric.

• With right sides together, pin and sew the other circle to the first one, leaving a 2 cm gap.

• Turn the pincushion right side out.

• Fill the pillow with fiber fill or another equally soft fill

• Sew the gap closed by hand.

Enjoy your wrist pincushion and use it for your sewing projects.
