Crazy 4 Pincushions!

February 23, 2010 By: Fan

Pincushions have been around since the 15th century when they were first made from silver and ivory. It was during the 1800s that pincushions were being commercially produced. During the Victorian era is when pincushions were highly decorated with beads and made into shapes of shoes, dolls, teacups, fruits, umbrellas, veggies and fruits rather than just boxes and were then displayed in parlors.


Today, the pincushion has made a big comeback and is a very “hot” item especially the vintage half doll pincushions and the homemade pincushions done up in all kinds of retro fabrics and embellishments. Stuffing for your pincushions also has come a long way as some use batting, sand, and scented herbs! Below is a list that we have compiled for you for 60 Free Pincushion Patterns ranging from Ladybug Pincushions, Half Doll Pincushions, Teacup & Saucer Pincushions and so much more!
