Sewing Pincushion Club 🧵
A Little Bite of Sewing Fun!
Ready to build your sewing skills, play with fabric, and create something both beautiful and useful? Join our Sewing Pincushion Club, a beginner-friendly, hands-on club where we meet every other month to stitch up a collection of charming, quilt-inspired pincushions!
Morsel means a little bite or a little piece—and that’s exactly what these pincushions are all about! Starting with little 2½" x 2½" squares, we’ll turn fabric scraps, mini charm packs, and treasured leftovers into delightful little creations.
Whether you have a favourite fabric collection, a growing scrap basket, or just a few pieces you can’t bear to throw away, you’ll find plenty of inspiration in this club. Each pincushion offers a new opportunity to explore colour, practise accurate cutting and piecing, and learn techniques you can use in future sewing projects.
Over the course of six classes throughout 2027, you’ll create six different pincushions while building your sewing confidence, one little morsel at a time. By the end of the year, you’ll have a lovely collection of handmade pincushions and the skills to adapt these techniques to create pincushions in different shapes and sizes.
