With Easter fast approaching I decided to focus on some Easter Theme pincushions. I found a cute little Easter Egg pincushion featured on Retro Mom Blog in March of 2009.
The
instructions are simple and easy to follow she also provides a link to the
pattern you can print out for this project. These little pincushions
would make great gifts or display items, maybe even soft toys for a baby or
toddler instead of giving plastic eggs full of candy. After making a few
I picked some up to show my daughter and the thought occurred to me
that these would make great items to practice your juggling or to let your
children toss in a basket as an indoor snow day or rainy day toss game.
As
usual I made my own version of the egg in tone on tone off white fabrics and
added a little twist to mine by placing it into a cup, you could also add
some Easter grass or shredded green fabric in the base. With the
addition of an egg cup or dish it turns into a sewing accessory that is
stable and won't roll away. If you don't have an egg cup any small dish
would do fine, I found some cute little plastic Easter eggs at the Dollar
Store that work great as a stand for your pincushion.
I hope you enjoy this pattern as much as I did. Create a dozen eggs and display them in a decorated re-purposed egg carton in your kitchen or sewing room for a fun country look.

These Easter Egg Pincushions are so lovely, Ann!
Ann, what a cute idea!
Very cute idea! I love pincushions, and make a new set for my studio as soon as a new fabric 'speaks' to me! I don't do anything fancy like yours.....just industrial sewing room style.
Hi. Where did you purchase the plastic egg from?
