How to make a Pin Cushion Scrap Bag

- čas přidán 10. 07. 2024
- Fun Project Series #1 - if you do a lot of sewing, then you'll love this little project! You can make it with a couple of fat quarters, or with fabric scraps - and it will keep your sewing area neat and clean. PLEASE NOTE: The sizes for the pin cushion and the hinge have been reversed in the video - (bad editing on my part!) So to clarify: The pin cushion piece is 7" x 8" and the hinge piece is 8" x 4 1/2". Your finished pin cushion (after it is stuffed) should measure approximately 7" x 4" and your hinge after it is finished should measure 4" x 4 1/2". The scrap bag is 9" x 16" and so is the liner. The boning is 3/4" in width and is cut 18" long. You can make your own boning by cutting it out of an old plastic jug! Have fun with this project!

Such a clear instruction..no waffling like some of them do. I will be making my own pincushion
You make great tutorials. Clear, precise, and easy to see and understand. Thank you. 😊
Yours was the best instructional video...Thank you!
THANK YOU for this tutorial!! I wanted to make one of these so badly, and I watched two other videos to see how to do it, but I could not understand their instructions!! I thought I was the only one who couldn’t figure it out & felt so stupid because all of their comments were “thank you for this tutorial, I can’t wait to make one!!” Lol! But, I found your video & decided to try to figure it out one more time, and I’m so happy that I did because I understood perfectly what you were saying and showing, so now I am going tomorrow to get what I need to make my own. Guess I’m not completely hopeless after all!! Thank you so much for your easy to understand instructions and demonstration!! ♥️
Thanks for your glowing compliments!! Have fun!
The Masquerade Just wanted to report that it was a smashing success! Turned out beautifully, and I love it. In case someone needs an idea for filler for the pincushion, I used sand from the Dollar Tree. It took approximately one and a half bags, more or less. Thank you again for your wonderful way of explaining the steps for this project; it’s greatly appreciated!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
FANTASTIC! Thanks for sharing.😁 I had no idea you could get sand from the dollar store!
I know what you mean, some people don’t really know how to articulate what they want to say. This makes it very difficult to follow their instructions. I have seen several videos on how to make these, this is much easier to understand.
Excellent tutorial. The little tips as you go along are really helpful, especially for filling the pincushion with the walnut shells.
Instead of boning I am going to cut a spiral strip from a plastic yogurt tub.
Great idea! Make sure it is long enough to overlap a couple inches, or the bag will just hang down instead of standing out.😉 sometimes I cut plastic strips from gallon milk jugs, too!
Love the fabrics you used in this bag. Beautiful
This is an excellent video! You do an excellent job explaining all the steps to make it. I can’t wait to make this handy Pin Cushion Scrap bag. Now I won’t have threads and scraps all over the place. Thank you very much!
You are a great teacher, your videos are so easy to follow along!
I enjoyed your tutorial very much. I made one for myself as soon as I finished watching it. Thank you so much.
I love your tutorial!! I love how you explain each step and the fabric is just as great!! Thank you for making this video!!
I Love this Tutorial. You are a great tutor. You went at a nice pace and explained everything. Thank you so much.
Im back again for a refresher💞. I love the smell of the walnut shells. I bought me a plastic funnel and it works really well for the shells to slide in.
I absolutely LOVE this video. Many Thanks for sharing. I learned so much by watching this video a few times over!
Me too. I've watched it several times and finally decided to comment. I love this video. She did a really great job of making this easy. Thanks so much for sharing.
Good tutorial. Thanks for getting straight to the project without a lot of talking . You made it very easy to understand. Thanks again.
Inspired!!! Going to make some today!!! Thanks for the EXCELLENT tutorial 💐
I very much like the fabrics you chose. Thanks for this tutorial.
I just received one of these , a gift from my sister. I love it. She added some pockets to the front of the bag for my little snips and steletto etc.
Super fabric, great instructions and such a cute project. Thank you!

I made one last night and I lined (sewed in) 8 weight plastic in the bag part. With the plastic the threads don’t stick. Skipped the boning part as the plastic holds the bag open. Love your tutorials, very easy to understand and far less steps than others I’ve watched for this type of bag. Thank you.
I've done them with the plastic, too. Mine ended up with so much static that I still couldn't get the threads out. LOL Good luck!
Lovely idea. I made one for myself and one for a gift. Thank you.
This is a great project! I plan to make several as gifts plus make a few more adjustments for scrapbooking. Thanks for a great and understandable project!!
I love that fabric!
Great tutorial and fun bag to make. Very structured and easy to follow along
I have one of these my sister made me and she sent me the pattern, but I understand watching much better. Thank you so much for the step by step instructions. So helpful!!!
Wow! As I am new to quilting/seewing, with a sewing machine less than a week old, I'm fascinated by this project. I have sew enough to know this would be handy as all get out. Now I just have to find some of that fantastic fabric.
I don't think the same print is still available; but if you go to
fabric.com you will find other "sewing notion" motif prints that are
also pretty cool! That's where I got this fabric. Welcome to the
quilting/sewing world!! Have fun with this :)
So Cute! So Cheery! So USEFUL! 👏👏😍 Luuove the fabric too. Thank you!
Love the video and love that you have shared your knowledge. Thank you so very much.
I loved the tutorial, easy to understand. The fabric you used for the project is really pretty! Thank you so much
What a great instructional video!. I just started sewing a couple months ago and am very much still a novice. This video is very easy and clear on what to do. Thank you! I'm going to make one right now! :)
2 1/2 hours later and done! I feel so accomplished. Thank you so much; I appreciate your teaching style!
You are very welcome! I love this project for how quick it goes together. It's a great gift for all your sewing friends!
I love your hinge being solid instead of others I’ve seen with two straps. I’m using it as a trash bag for the car. Thanks for sharing. Super cute fabric! EXCELLENT DIY VIDEO!
Great idea - thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Masquerade, for your reply. Very helpful!
Very clear directions, excellent tutorial! I think I'm going to make myself 2 of them- one for next to my machine and one for my cutting table. I'm excited to sew them later. Thanks so much for this great tutorial! Sewing this cute project will be my birthday present to myself!
Happy Birthday!
@@TheMasquerade I made two and they turned out adorable! Thanks for this straightforward tutorial with such cute results!
would like the printed out directions.
How can I get them to print out?
Thank you, great idea and very pretty fabric choice
Thank you so much for this video. You were clear and concise and didn't ramble. I'm a beginner with my machine and of all the tutorials I watched, I found yours the best. Thank you.
Welcome to sewing! Yes, I'm not one that likes to ramble - I like to just get to the point! LOL Have fun with your new hobby!! Thanks for watching The Masquerade!
I agree with everyone else you have the best instructions love the way you did this thanks again
Your instructions are awesome and your camera view is as well. I've been to other CZcams videos but they are hard to see. Yours is the best. I've saved it and come back to it every year to make one or two for giving. Thank you!💗
Thanks for the kind words Robin! They do make great gifts!
Thanks for sharing this! I have been wanting to make one , but needed to watch someone do it first!
I'm a beginner sewer and I think I can do this. I'm headed for the fabric store to purchase fabric. Thank you for sharing your project. You have a skill for teaching. You are clear and concise. Ruby
Love it! Thanks a lot, can't wait to get started.
Very clear teaching style. Thank you!
Excellent tutorial. Thanks!
Thank you for this! I was able to follow along with you and successfully made an adorable scrap bag/pin cushion. I didn't have any boning strips, so I cut up a 2 liter soda bottle and used that!
Great! Thanks for watching! I also suggest cutting up gallon milk jugs. Did a video on that a while back. I love these little scrap bags! I have them all over my studio for when I do quilting classes. Saves time on clean up!😉
Just made two of these following your video. Very easy to follow. Thank you!
You are very welcome! Enjoy! :)
Loved this cute little tutorial!! Thanks for sharing!!
moving and have a small sewing room. decided to make these without the pin cushion and hang them on the wall to keep supplies in....brilliant tutorial!
Great idea! Colorful way to utilize space! I love it!
Great project! Can't wait to make a few for gifts (and myself, of course)!
Have fun!!
Beautiful fabric easy and clear instructions am sewing one tomorrow. I loved this video
Excellent tutorial. I'm going to make this my next sewing project.
Thank you for sharing your time and creativity to make this tutorial. Love your design - the addition of boning is genius! Ideas for something similar have been floating around in my head for a while and slowly coming together. Now, I can add my ideas to your design! I will make the top pincushion magnetic to hold my snip-eze curved blade embroidery scissors (fantastic for snipping threads - especially if you have arthritis), long tweezers, seam guide, errant pins, clips, zipper feet, machine needles and small paper cutting scissors (prevents that BAD thought of: "I know I shouldn't, but it can't hurt my expensive embroidery scissors to cut this paper/plastic/cellophane ONE time"). ☹ I plan to line my scrap bag with vinyl, hoping the threads will not cling as they will with fabric. Plus I am adding a zipper opening at the bottom to allow easy emptying w/o disturbing my tools/pins/clips at the top. This is about the third project on my mental sewing list, so it has time to refine a bit more. Thanks again for a great tutorial. -m
Great Job! Thank you for sharing!
What a great tutorial! You make it look so easy! :o) I'm going to try to make a couple of these for my quilting friends. Thanks so much!
Thankyou for the great tutorial. I wanted to make some hanging tubs to collect the endless sewing scraps and loose threads, I used the thin plastic strapping you get on new white goods instead of boning as that's what I had. I sewed long ribbons coming out of the hinge to hang the tub from a hook. I didn't make the pincushion but may in the future. I might make some hanging tubs with toiletries for gifts. Many thanks
Great use of the tub! You can use the method to make them any size, and you can also cut your own "boning/strapping" from gallon plastic jugs. Recycle/reuse!😁
wonderful and easy project. thank you.
Excellent and best tutorial for this. Thank you.
I am so glad I stumble onto your tutorial for this Pin Cushion scrap bag. I learned what boning was and what to use to stuff a pin cushion. I have been making masks this year and totes for many years. So glad I can use some scraps to make this. Thanks you for your video. God bless and stay safe.
I am glad to hear from you as I forgot all about this as I am at that forgetful age. I have been very busy sewing during this shut down. Take care.
Great tutorial, very easy to follow..thank you!
its ok I scrolled down and see you commented on the sizes I watched it several times before to make sure I understood it but thought the size might have been wrong but ive made it and watching you make it it was easy to follow love it keep up the videos please love watching them and making them
sorry I'm so late seeing this comment! Glad you were able to figure it out. I've been super busy without much time to put up new project videos - but I'm hoping to get some more going this fall. Thanks for watching!
i love this fabric!!!!!
Thank you so much 😊 that was a great idea 💡 and also very useful for any sewer or budding sewer ❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏
Your tutorials
are wonderful! They are clear, concise and easy to follow AND each a beautiful work of art.
I realize they are a LOT of work and thankless but I just wanted to send you my thanks for your dedication.
I've learned so much and have a list of things I plan to teach my granddaughter who is eight. She has "graduated" from pillows and is anxious to broaden her skills!
Thank you again!

Awwe, you are too kind!
Excellent tutorial! Thank you for your clear instructions.
You are very welcome! :)
thank-you. you are a wonderful teacher
Nice easy straight forward video instructions, I like this, and I like your fabric choices.
Made one..love it..will make some more for gifts. Thank you for this tutorial!
You are very welcome! They make a great gift!
Have been wanting to make one of these for awhile. Thanks for the great and clear instructions, so easy to follow. Great fabric ☺️👍☺️
Make a few! They make great gifts, too!😉
Thank you. This is next on my to do list!
Love this can’t wait to make one or 2 or 10

Thanks for this idea. This is something I need to make tomorrow. My new serger didn’t come with the trash bag like my older serger and boy do I need it. You make your t sound so easy to make. Let be it.
I've actually made one for one of my sergers that didn't come with a thread catcher! I just eliminated the pin cushion and attached a "no slip" pad to the hinge instead. The pad is just a piece of fabric with rubber shelving grip attached to the bottom and serged all the way around. It shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes to whip one up! ;)
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.
Thank you so much!! I bought the stuff, including an expensive pattern to make one but the directions everyone ELSE had was so confusing. You did a FANTASTIC job explaining EVERYTHING simply! You're an awesome instructor...Thanks so much!!
Awe, thanks Paticakes! That means a lot to me. I appreciate the praise! ;)
Cute fabrics and great tutorial.
I made a funnel using a 16 oz. soda bottle. After I drank my soda and rinsed the bottle, I cut of the bottle portion, leaving about 3" for the "bowl" part of the funnel. It has a wider opening than a paper funnel, so I made sure to leave the opening to my project big enough to fit the bottle's opening. The larger opening is also perfect for when I make bean bags. Thanks for this great tutorial!
Really cute! Thanks for sharing 🙂.
Love your videos thanks for sharing!
Finaly I sew mine. It was very easy with you tutorial. Thanks
Great tutorial!! Easy to follow! thanks!
Love this! Thank you 😁 My next project is a machine mat organiser & I really want to incorporate this into it. I’m thinking of separating the catcher from the cushion & hanging it on the front of one of the pockets with a button, and using Velcro to hold the pin cushion on the side of the mat. Thanks to your clear & easy to follow instructions, I feel I can successfully do this. Thank you again & super cute fabric!
Great idea! Have fun with it!
I made your thread catcher without the pincushion and put the hinge under my machine
I love it, and I have to agree with others this is the clearest and easiest pattern to follow thank you so much for sharing it with us.
I've done that as well to put under my serger. It holds more scrap than the "catch bucket" that came with the machine. You can make the hinge any size or shape to make it work for your particular machine. Thanks for sharing this idea!
What a great tutorial. I've just made one and it amazing. The only difference i made was to add interfacing to the hinge, cushion and the outer bag, this made it rigid enough to not have to use boning as i don't have any. Thanks, x
Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
I absolutely love this only I wish I had that same material :) Best instructions! My mom made me one a long time ago and now I know how to do myself for gifting my daughter and bestie.
Thank you for this tutorial!
You are very welcome! I got it on fabric.com - probably not available anymore. But I'm sure if you do a search for for quilting material on that site with key words "sewing notions", they'll have other good choices. ;)
Thank you so much for this video!
I made my own using rice and lavender instead of walnut power. It works just as well and is heavy enough to hold the bag.
I was even able to put my big scissors in the bag and it held the weight.
This is a lovely idea and I am more then pleased with the result!
Very fun and simple for beginners! :)
I use grits because that was all I had. I hope this works.
Great video. Could hear very well. Thanks for sharing
Excellent explanation and tutorial! Merci bien!
Nice and easy instructions, going to give this a try.
You're AWESOME!!!! TY for this tutorial!!!
Thank you for a great tutorial. I have now made 3 with a 4th planned!
You go girl!👏
Love this!
Very interesting! I will be making this tomorrow. I am a newbie at sewing and this is easy to understand!
Awesome Thanks for sharing I'm going to try make for myself and some friends
Great idea, Thank you. Too late for me to try for this year, but hopefully next years collection
Great video. Very well explained.
Hi again, I had fun and made two at once.Just doubled each set :)
LOL, I've made so many of them I think I've lost count! I give them as gifts and put one next to each of my machines in my studio and the class room. Glad you had fun!
I have one of these and I love it. I use the pin cushion for pins and the bag for my wonder clips. I don't know what I would do without it..
Great video! Always wanted to make one of these but instructions were hard to follow. You make it very easy!
Thank you for this great tutorial .
Hi again! No problem with the measurements for me but I thought about new sewers! I like the idea of using grosgrain ribbon for the hinge Thanks so much. Love yr videos. Xxx
Dear Donna, I could not wait to make this Scrap Bag. I did view other tutorials and yours is the best. You may not notice but in the very beginning you have the hing and pin cushion measurements switched. Later on you correct yourself but do not mention the error in the beginning. Hopefully others will catch it, also. I like your beach blanket, also. Love the idea and want to give them as gifts.
Thanks Kathy! The switch was pointed out to me when I first posted the video - but once it's posted I can't change it. I think there are comments made regarding the correct measurements - but people have to scroll to find them. I guess that's what happens when I edit my videos at 2am! LOL I've been trying to be more vigilant lately - but I always welcome constructive criticism! Have fun sewing!!
I have one I bought from a friend that I absolutely love. It's especially dear to me since she passed away. She told me how to do it, but I'm more a visual learner, and when I found some fabric today with someone in mind I couldn't ask her how she made mine. I finished up the first & I'm halfway through another. You're an excellent teacher! I subscribed, and I'm looking forward to following along to more of your tutorials. Just had to come back and say thank you again so much for sharing!! 😊
Thanks Leslie! I've made so many if these little pin cushion scrap bags that I've lost count. I give them away as gifts, too. Hope you enjoy the rest of my tutorials as you work through them. Right now I'm working on a little paper piecing quilt project using an antique hand crank machine. So much fun! You might want to check out facebook.com/themasqueradenh to see more of what I do and share.
The Masquerade That explains why you're so great at it. You whipped through that like nobody's business lol I tend to overthink, and over complicate things . So, I really appreciate and enjoyed how very simple you made the process. Oh, your current project sounds like so much fun! I'm excited to check it out. Thank you so much! Keep up the great work of inspiring! 😊
