I absolutely love your technique! It’s so much simpler than the one I made. I will be making one also using your directions. Thank you so much for your tutorials, I always enjoy them.
Great tips on construction tips, stitch length and placement . I especially loved how you secured the button❣️ Thank you for sharing your methodology ~ your tutorial is so well done‼️👍
Thank you for a great and easy to understand tutorial. I eventually made this pin cushion, it turned out ok. I didn't have any glue at the time for the edges, but pressed and sew. I will definitely be making this again.
Thank you Laura, I tried this with a couple changes. First changed the filling to include ground walnut shells and also added a second small button to the bottom to reinforce the tie. A great project! 🤗
Doreen Sherk the ground walnut shells have worked very well for me to reduce moisture (rust) and sharpen pins /needles. Also adds weight to the pincushion. I usually fill a muslin pouch with the shells ,sew closed and insert with stuffing into the pincushion. LindaD
oh my, I LOVE THIS !!! Thank you so much for showing this to us .. And I agree with Corky King, I think this would also work for a pillow.. and I think I may try that also..Thanks again Laura.. God bless..
Diane Beckman I’m thinking the easiest way would be to make a square pillow cover and insert the form. Then make a WRAP to go around it. Have you tried making a pillow?
I love this! It looks fairly easy so I will have a try. I was also wondering if this would work for a bigger cushion too? Could you do a tutorial for that too please?
That could be pretty easily calculated since right triangles have the handy a^2 + b^2 = c^2. For example: The finished pillow will be a half inch smaller than that smaller square’s cut, with the quarter inch seam allowance. So, for a finished pillow of 11.5”: This means that the inner, smaller square of fabric is 12”x12”. We can figure out the width of the larger, outer fabric using right triangles. The hypotenuse is a right isosceles triangle whose sides measure 12” can be derived from: 144+144 = 288. 144 being 12 squared. 288 being the hypotenuse squared. The square root of 288 is 16.97... we can round that up to 17”. Does that make sense? I’m pretty sure I figured that all properly!
Spooky Nightshade, Thanks for doing the math. For those of us who are not math wizards, it might work for that size you specified. But . . . Umm, I’m not familiar with those math terms, so it would still be impossible for me to calculate another size. Now, if you wrote it out as a formula string, using common math terms, I probably could do it. 😬 The idea of doing a large pillow was a good one.
@@negligent_omnicide Thank you for working that out. I have it on my "to do" list for when I finish the many, many projects I am currently working on! My new year resolution is to finish all my started projects before cutting more! Wish me luck with that one lol. 😁
Susan Mei, eep! Sorry for the over the top math nerd moment. Haha. Let’s see 🤔... Final size plus half inch will be the length of the small square’s sides. Take the small square side length number and multiply it by itself. Take the result of that multiplication and multiply it by two. Take the result of this and find the square root. (Easiest would probably be to just Google “What is the square root of ___?”) This will be the length of the sides of the large square! Please feel free to let me know if I’m still missing the mark. The world needs these amazing pillows! 🙌🏻
Spooky Nightshade, Thank you for the clarification! 😁 So let’s see if I got this right: If I want a 16” finished pillow, I cut that square @ 16.5”. Then 16.5 x 16.5 = 272.25. Then 272.25 x 2 = 544.5 Then Google says the square root of 544.5 = 23.33. So my large square would measure 23 1/3” on each side Did I get that right? I can do (semi) complicated math if I have a key. Then I can just substitute a new starting number if I want to change it up. Please let me know if I messed this up, lol. Fabric is expensive! 😬📐✂️🧵📍
Laura thank you for this tutorial, I have been looking to make myself a cute pincushion. You also use the most beautiful fabrics, do you mind sharing where you get them from? thank you!!!! xox
Laura, Thanks for the video. That's a cute project. I think several of us would like to use this pattern to make a pillow. I'm wondering about a formula for dimensions. Would the "liner" square always be 2" smaller than the outside squares? Or is the liner 75% of the outside squares?

Love this. Very timely for me as I keep sewing and sewing projects and quilts and don't actually have a pin cushion! Was just thinking yesterday I need to make some for my 2 different kinds of pins. I saw your video on making them out of containers around the house and have been thinking about it for awhile. Perhaps you could put a link here to that as well. Wondering where you got the glue bottle pointy tip?? (I'm Canadian as well). I glue baste my binding as in sharonschambert.net. (but use your great starting and endings which are so fuss free). Also I think I will put in some of those poly pellets to give it a little weight.
You are just the nicest person to listen to and ALWAYS the Best instructions. You motivate me!
BRILLIANT, Laura! What a Treat. This is the Clearest Best cathedral window tute I’ve seen ANYwhere. Thank you 👏🥰
I love your way of making the Cathedral Window pincushion. So beautiful and easy. Thank you.
Gracias. Ahora sí creo voy a poder hacer uno. Precioso! Explica muy bien con amor. Saludos desde Costa Rica.
Very lovely, this would make a great sachet also. You are by far the best and professional instructor that I enjoy daily. Thank you so much.
What a wonderful idea for little Christmas gifts for my sewing friends! Thanks for another great tutorial, Laura!
Oh gosh that is so cute! I will definitely make some of these. I love your projects, Laura!

Laura, you made that look so easy! This would make a good gift for sewing friends. Thank you so much.
I’ve been waiting for an easy pin cushion tutorial since I started sewing 7 yrs ago.
You nailed it. Thank you sooo much! 🙏❤️🇨🇦
Fun little project that would be good to make after a larger quilt project. I can see these as good little gifts too! Thanks
This is SUPER SUPER cute! What a great style to make it! Great tutorial!
Laura, спасибо за подробный показ! Всё понятно! Вопросов нет! 🌺🙋♀️
Oh Laura I've just made this, not quite as neat as yours but i love it. Thank you, keep your videos coming xxx
Nice!! And beautiful hair!
Thank you for a great and easy to understand tutorial. I eventually made this pin cushion, it turned out ok. I didn't have any glue at the time for the edges, but pressed and sew. I will definitely be making this again.
I love these arts/crafts with fabric!
Thank you Laura, I tried this with a couple changes. First changed the filling to include ground walnut shells and also added a second small button to the bottom to reinforce the tie. A great project! 🤗
Linda Davis. Hi Linda, how did the Ground walnut shells work, I have a package of them and would like to use them.
Doreen Sherk the ground walnut shells have worked very well for me to reduce moisture (rust) and sharpen pins /needles. Also adds weight to the pincushion. I usually fill a muslin pouch with the shells ,sew closed and insert with stuffing into the pincushion. LindaD
Linda Davis thank you, I will do that as well
I've never heard of using ground walnut shells before. Who sells them?
Thank you for sharing. God bless you and your family
You are an excellent instructor. Thank you so much! This is such a cute project. ❤️🙂
oh my, I LOVE THIS !!! Thank you so much for showing this to us .. And I agree with Corky King, I think this would also work for a pillow.. and I think I may try that also..Thanks again Laura.. God bless..
Is a print out available?
This is different than other c w pincushions I've seen, but a lot simpler. Thanks
I love this! So cute! Your instructions are great. Just recommended this channel to a friend who is learning to sew!
This is great! I love the tip about those corner threads! Thank-you!! 😎😊
That is so cute Laura!! I'm going to make this for my sewing room
Perfect! Much nicer than other tutorials.
Lovely lady, I wish you well and hope you are staying safe during this crazy year. This can be made into an ornament also. Thank you honey, God bless.
Lovely fabrics and easy to follow tutorial - thanks :)
🙂Nice easy & quick project, and perfect for using up scraps! Great gift for seeing friends! Thank you!
Love it !clever crafting.
Patsy Futtere Love how simple this is. Sew cute!
Yes, it is
Very cute 🥰. Thank you for the video 😊👍💕
Thank you for this wonderful pincushion. I'm going to try it.
Very nice Laura. I love it. Thank you.
So cute & easy! Thanks again for a great project!
Such a great tutorial! Thank you!!!
What a great gift to make!
Hmmm. Would this work for a pillow? I'll bet it would! Great tutorial!
I would love to make this a pillow using a pillow form. Any instructions on how to make that happen.
Diane Beckman I’m thinking the easiest way would be to make a square pillow cover and insert the form. Then make a WRAP to go around it. Have you tried making a pillow?
pro tip: you can watch series at flixzone. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies lately.
@Darren Alexis Definitely, been using Flixzone} for since november myself :D
@Darren Alexis yup, I've been watching on Flixzone} for years myself :D
8:30 that space under each arm would be a great place to tuck your thimble and a pair of snips or your reading glasses. ❤🌅🌵
Suzi SaintJames, And/or a pack of needles and a few skeins of floss!
Yes make two of them one for small sewing supplies/glasses and the other one to be used as a pin cushion.
I love this! It looks fairly easy so I will have a try. I was also wondering if this would work for a bigger cushion too? Could you do a tutorial for that too please?

Just in time - I needed a small project to make for our guild Christmas party gift exchange - here it is! Thanks!
look at tomorrow video for another idea :)
Love it Laura, thank you!
Thank you very much
Can you make pattern smaller so I can wear it as a WRIST PIN CUSHION?
A great beginners project!!
Thank you. Lovely pincushion! BJ
Bellissimo. Brava. Grazie
