I am have three to four launches a year of apple pincushions made by me. There are limited numbers of these available in fun, scrappy patchwork fabrics and also some exclusive Liberty Tana Lawn pincushions and OOP fabrics like Heather Ross Lightning Bugs prints. By signing up my newsletter (form below) you'll have first notice of pre-made launches. You can also find any available pincushions here.
For shops, guilds and quilting groups
If you'd like to host a live Apple Pincushion event get in touch here. Presently these are run via Zoom and take 1-1.5 hours and are for groups up to 20 participants. We sew along together and participants will have their own pincushion by the end of the event. If you have a larger group, get in touch and we can discuss your options.
If you're Perth based get in touch and we can organise an in-person event.

Hey Peggy – You could – I do love hand sewing myself – BUT you do want a strong small stitch to be able to stuff the heck out of them so you get a nice, firm apple pincushion. You could experiment for sure. There is a bit of hand finishing to make the dimples in the apple and close up the bottom and adding the leaves. Hope that helps.

Hello from Texas! This is adorable!! Would I be able to hand sew this together, rather than on a machine? I have a machine, but it just looks like it would lend itself to a lovely bit of hand sewing. Thank you!
