Not too long ago, I was approached by a friend who wanted to learn how to sew. He’s a big tough guy who had secretly always wanted to learn, especially so he could make clothes for his dog. We spent an afternoon together at his new machine, and he was hooked. A couple of weeks ago, he proudly presented me with a coat for my dog. Since he’s now an official “seamster”, I decided to make a gift for him as well.
What does every sewing guru rely on? Their trusty pincushion. But I needed to make him something a bit more “manly”. So, I present the pirate pincushion.
I used Heather Bailey’s square deal pincushion, a bit of cotton fabric, poly-fill, 1/8″ ribbon and some buttons I had lying around. This is the first pincushion I have ever made, so be kind.
