Sweetheart Pin Cushion Tutorial

January 31, 2010 by Jessica 210 Comments

3 Hearts

Every person who sews needs at least one cute pin cushion to adorn there craft room. Having cute things around you help motivate you when you are being creative. To add more cuteness to your craft room, here is a little heart pin cushion you can make. If you do make one, feel free to share with us by adding a picture to the Flickr Group.

Sweetheart Pin Cushion Tutorial

You will need:
–Pattern pieces printed out Sweetheart Pin Cushion Pattern
–Scrap fabrics (biggest is two 4.5″X4.5″ of fabric)
–Iron on adhesive (5″x5″ piece)
–Stuffing: fiberfil, quilt batting, t-shirt scraps, etc. Your choice 🙂
–Sewing Things
–Optional: other embelishments

How to make it:

1. Cut out all the pattern pieces

1

2. Grab some scraps for the heart and iron them. Start by placing one piece on the edge of the pattern piece that says “sew scraps here”, wrong side down. Then place the next piece you want on top of it, right side down.

2

3

3. Sew the two pieces together, right onto the paper.

4. Open up and iron seam. Continue on until the whole paper is covered with scraps.

4

5. Rip the paper off of the back now.

6

6. Sew any top seams you want now.

5

7. Trace the heart onto the middle of the piece of iron on adhesive. You will trace on the paper side, not the sticky side. Cut around the outside of the heart about 1/2″ at the most. Cut out two pieces of fabric for the main part of the pin cushion using pattern piece.
Place the sticky side of the iron on adhesive on the middle of the wrong side of the main fabric. Iron on according to directions.

7

11. Cut the heart out. Start by making a clip in the middle and then cut it out.

8

9

12. Remove the paper backing on the fabric. Place scraps underneath the heart cut out. The iron on adhesive will be on the top of the scraps. Iron together according to directions.

10

13. Sew around the heart if you like and add any other embellishments. You could embroider or add a ruffle. If you add a trim, sew it on first first sewing the two pieces together. You sew it on the right side of the fabric so the edge you will see is facing towards the middle of the square. It keeps it in place a lot easier.

11

14. Place the two main pieces right sides together and pin. Sew around leaving an opening for turning and stuffing.

12

15. Turn right side out. Iron it real quick if it got wrinkly. Stuff with fiberfil, quilt batting, etc. I found that I really liked using quilt batting to fill them with. It was heavier than fiberfil but still easy to stick pins into. Another thing I experimented with was using t-shirt scraps. I stuffed some in on the bottom, then covered the top with quilt batting. This allowed the pins to stick in easily, but added even more weight to the pin cushion.

13

16. Hand sew opening shut.

Now you have an adorable pincushion! The cute pins are Fiskars Heidi Grace Designs Decorative Pins.

Win this one on my blog!

    Jessica,
    this is really, really, really cute! It’s a great way to reuse old scraps of fabric you just don’t know what to do with. A blog friend of mine upcycled vintage napkins into heart-shaped pin-cushions too. They look different but can both make great gifts (haha, so our amigos don’t get all our same homemade craft?)

    Here’s what the other one looks like, I thought you might be into it: http://ramblingdesigns.blogspot.com/2010/01/valentines-heart-tutorial.html

    Thanks for spending time on this tutorial!

    “Where did you get those adorable pins?”

    They were actually part of an amazing package I received for doing a special tutorial. They are by Fiskars Heidi Grace Designs. If you google Heidi Grace Decorative Pins (I googled it and found a few online stores carrying them) you can find them. They are targeted for scrapbooking, but they are strong enough to use as regular pins for sewing.

    I have been looking EVERYWHERE for a nice pin cushion. One that’s not round and rolly like those tomato looking things, one that’s big enough for me to stab into while at the sewing machine and not have to look over at it. This looks PERFECT as I can make it any size that I want. And what a creative way to use some of the scraps that I’ve been accumulating. I might just make one of these for each of the sewers in my family for Christmas (it would look so cute with a tree cutout in place of the heart), there are so many ideas that I have now! Oh, now I know I’m going to have to make a ton of these for myself. Woo Hoo! Thank you for such a great pattern!

      You are right 🙂 It is between the back and front with wrong sides facing. The edge where you gathered it would be the side on the outer edge. Then you can sew over the gathering thread so it won’t be seen when turned right side out.

    Love this idea to use pieces of materials that I love! Perfect little birthday gift for another quilter. Thanks for the opportunity to learn from your website, and win.

    my favorite thing is hearts, I have hearts everywhere in my house, quilts, embroidery, hardanger, hand spun yarn and knitted blanket with about 40 squares each with a heart, I would love to have a pincushion like that, I tried to download the pattern and had difficulty, so sad that I couldn’t get the pattern pieces, I really wanted to make several for friends and family, I love your ideas, thank you for sharing these fun projects.

      Thank you for letting me know about the downloading issues. This post is four years old, so the file sharing site I used to use has changed. I just added it up there directly through my blog now, so hopefully you won’t have that issue again.

    these are so cute! I have decided to quilt the scrappy heart, add 2015 to it and make them as Christmas ornaments for my family this year. I added a simple string hanger to the edge and filled with polyfill.
    I would love to share a picture if you have someplace to share it to.

    […] Sweetheart Pincushion by Happy Together by Jess – Pincushions come in all shapes and sizes, but what drew me to this one was the patchwork heart insert (plot twist) and the inviting fabrics. Plus, it’s a pincushion, so it will support future sewing projects! […]
