Materials Circular Template - Your finished pincushion will be about half as big as your template. I made the tiny pincushion with a 5 1/2-inch circular template from Creative Grids. The large pincushion was make with a dinner plate that measures 8 1/2-inches. Fabric - Wide enough to accomodate your circular template. The fabric used for the tiny pincushion is a 19th Century Reproduction Fabric from Windham Fabrics. The fabric used for the large pincushion is a lovely print from Yuwa Fabrics. Wool Felt - I used plant dyed wool felt that I purchased from A Child's Dream Come True. Fabric Scissors - For cutting the fabric, I used my beloved 8-inch Gingher Dressmaker Shears, but of course you can use any kind of sharp scissor. Fabric Marker - For tracing circle onto the back of your fabric. I always prefer to use a sharp pencil to mark my fabric. Hand Quilting Thread - Hand quilting thread is very strong so you can pull the top of the pincushion very tight without worrying about your thread breaking. Embroidery Thread - This should match or compliment your wool felt. I used Valdani's Pearl Cotton #12 because it has a beautiful sheen and comes in the perfect colors. Sharp Embroidery Needle Stuffing - I used Natural Cotton Stuffing which works very well for pincushions because you can get the cushion to be very dense and solid with it.
