About the pattern
Make an adorable sewing accessory that's not only cute but functional!
The Apple Pincushion pattern includes colour instructional photos, tips and tricks for getting your apple pincushions looking amazing and plump. They're the perfect size to sit next to you whilst doing handwork, or next to your sewing machine (or in the throat of your machine which I often do). As they're stuffed so well, getting pins in and out is a breeze!
