I recently created a small batch of five salt cellar pincushions from the glass I rediscovered in my stash. When making these videos, I had to troubleshoot three different issues that I have become accustomed to when making pincushions and I wanted to share my process. The first video, Salt Cellar Pincushions – Batch of 5 – Made from Glass Stash (first link below), has an introduction and only shows a quick make of all of the pincushions. The other three videos with their specific topics are listed below:
—Square Jadeite Salt Cellar Pincushion (second link below) – shows how to make a pincushion in a square vessel.
—Brown Glass Owl Pincushion (third link below) – changing fabric mid-make.
—White Milk Glass Hen on a Nest Salt Cellar Pincushion (fourth link below) – creating a pincushion in a shallow and oval vessel.

You can access each video below:

Buttons. A necessary sewing and clothing accessory but probably not something most people think about. As a quilter, I rarely made anything with buttons prior to making pincushions. Once Lucy and I started making pincushions, we became very interested in buttons. We have built our button stash buying at big box craft and sewing stores, antiquing, thrifting, garage sales, and eBay.
