Next I needed a pin cushion for my beading needles and I wanted it to be smaller. I found that I had a single acrylic white sock in my laundry room.
Sock Pin Cushion #1
Sock is right side out
Size: 1.5 inches in diameter, 2 inches tall
- I cut off the cuff
- then I cut the cuff in half vertically
- opened the cuff into a rectangle
- folded the rectangle into thirds with the bottom folded up first and then the top over it
- next I rolled it up like a jelly roll
- and sewed the end to the roll
- finally I put it into a bottle cap from a shampoo bottle
Sock Pin Cushion #2
Sock is inside out
Size: 1.5 inches in diameter, 1.5 inches tall
- for this one I used the other half of the cuff, but this time I turned it inside out so that the loops where on the outside
- folded the rectangle into thirds with the bottom folded up first and then the top over it
- next I rolled it up like a jelly roll
- and sewed the end to the roll
- finally I put it into a bottle cap from a vitamin bottle
