I have some but have not used it yet. Should provide a nice weight and keep pins sharp but it is pricey and I'll make rather small pin cushions with it. I love the little Bee pin cushion!!

On second project, I created a plastic funnel -- used empty large hand cream plastic container, cut off the top leaving a 2 inch lip. I screwed the opening into my nearly completed "envelop." I used a barbecue stick to help push the sawdust into the cushion. The larger top of the plastic container made it easy to load with sawdust. The hole was large enough that my finger could push the sawdust into the corners and pack it hard. The cushion filled in 1/4th the time of my first one. I'd love to post pictures but don't see that option. Many thanks for keeping this blog!

I wonder if the pulverized eggshells would be suitable filling for a pincushion - they'd have a good weight, conform to whatever shape I wanted, no issues with humidity or bugs, and maybe even the same sharpening effect on the needles & pins as on blender blades. <br /><br />To prepare the shells for my dogs, I remove the membrane, bake at 250 for half an hour (to remove any pathogens and get them really dry), crush them by hand and then pulverize them with a mortar and pestle. It is time-consuming; any time I watch TV I have my mortar and pestle in-hand grinding away. That would be the major drawback - they're free but labor-intensive.mrscjrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07565277255757906546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309493769526175391.post-86356572477468409142013-12-30T08:45:44.346-06:002013-12-30T08:45:44.346-06:00I wonder if I could use kitty.
