PREMISE
Anyone who approaches sewing, whether by hand or by the sewing machine, sooner or later will need a pin cushion or pin holder!
It is a very simple project, which does not require the sewing machine and can be done by beginners and even children.
There are infinite ways to create one: wrist pin cushion, hanging pin cushion, pin cushion tied to the sewing machine, pin cushion jar, pin cushion with magnet, with padding, etc.
I wanted something that was multipurpose and above all that could stay still while I was taking the pins.
Most pin cushions are lightweight, because they only have a padding or a simple magnet and they move when you take the pins.
So, after an online research, I decided that I would have made a PIN CUSHION JAR: in addition to being pin cushion it would have been also a container.
The fact that it would have being made of glass, it meant that it would also have been quite still!
VIDEO-TUTORIAL
This was the first project for which I decided to make a tutorial, so below you can see the video that I created by combining the photos I had taken at the time.
However, I realized soon that photo sliding wouldn’t be very useful so, after this tutorial, I started filming and editing as you can see from the other videos on my channel.

Hi, I’m Eleonora. I grew up in Milan and have been living in London since 2019. I left a corporate career to turn my lifelong passion for crafts into a full-time creative business. Creating with my hands has always been part of who I am – from crochet to sewing, from small handmade projects to full garments. I also have a soft spot for animals, especially cats. I started crocheting at a young age and later taught myself how to sew through books and online tutorials. Over time, I began experimenting with different techniques, patterns, and materials, discovering just how powerful and calming handmade creativity can be. That journey led me to share my knowledge online, first through YouTube and later through classes, patterns, and workshops. Today, I’m a crochet and sewing teacher, helping others learn at their own pace and find confidence through making.
Thanks so much
Thanks
Keep this going please, great job!
