Pin Cushion Sewing Project for Kids

Every young stitcher needs their own pin cushion.

Often this is the very first project our sewing students make in our classes, no matter their age.

If you are new to sewing and don’t have your own pin cushion yet, here is a step by step on how to make your very own adorable pin cushion!

This is a great kids sewing project!

Start by cutting out two 6″ squares of some really cute fabric.

Place both pieces together, with right sides touching and stitch using 1/2″ seam allowance along three of the four sides.

Should look something like this:

And here is a closeup of the stitching:

Next, turn the fabric right sides out and stuff with pillow fill. It should now look like this:

Now turn the raw edge over, tucking in about 1/2″ and secure in place with straight pins.

Should look like this:

Now, sew this last side either with a machine using 1/4″ seam allowance or by hand, like in this photo.

As you will see, you can sew it as neatly, as you would like.

We like to do a nice big, messy hand stitch, giving it that organic, home-made feel ; )

Voila! The perfect beginner sewing project that I guarantee any stitcher will use for years to come!
