I saw super simple directions for making one a few weeks ago. It took about 5 minutes to make with pieces of fabric I already had cut: five 2" squares. I did have to cut the batting that goes inside. The hardest part was turning it right side out after I finished sewing. You can see directions at Prairie Rose Quilts and Farm.
I haven't transported my machine but I've used this needle cushion often. I always want to have two pieces of fabric to send through as leaders/enders but sometimes I just don't. At those times, I use this to put the presser food down so the thread doesn't get pulled out when I'm moving fabric around.
It's almost silly to celebrate such a tiny finish.... And yet, a finish IS a finish, right?
I'm linking this to finish it up Friday at Crazy Mom Quilts. Thanks, Amanda Jean.

well, I think it's darling. and I love the colors. and a finish is a finish! one less thing undone. . . how ever you want to justify it!
ReplyDeleteIt's so cute! And useful, what a great idea.
ReplyDeleteA finish is a finish indeed!
ReplyDeleteI agree - a finish is a finish! What a cute little cushion! I had never heard of using one of these before. It looks like it is made just like a coasters pattern I have, except they are larger of course.
ReplyDeleteA finish is a finish no matter the size! It's cute and I may have to make one. I usually just use scraps that are sitting around but yours is much more grownup. Cute!
ReplyDeleteIt's really cute!
