A big round up of free pincushion sewing patterns and tutorials! Perfect fabric scrap projects and handmade gifts to sew - use a free pincushion pattern to sew something up quickly! #pincushion*

After sewing up 4 free pincushion sewing patterns earlier this month, I ended up with a huge list of other pincushion tutorials that I just loved! Instead of trying to sew them all, I figured I’d put them in one list post to share instead. Pincushions are such a fun gift to sew, they use up scraps really well, and are usually quick and easy. Between patchwork, english paper piecing, foundation paper piecing, embroidery, and felt accents, I think everyone will be able to find a tutorial that they just love!

What do you fill your pincushions with? I usually use a mix of Poly-Fill and tiny fabric scraps shredded up (one of my tips for using up knit fabric scraps), but I know lots of people love filling them with crushed walnut shells*. I’d never thought about filling them with emery fillings to sharpen pins, but now I know thanks to one of the tutorials below!
