Great project @Samantha_Bryant! I will try this to assist in my sewing accessories. I might have to use stickers until I get a cutting machine. I will let you know how it goes. May be a prject for me and my Granddaughter. Happy crafting!

Thank you, @LAJUANA_ANTHONY! It most definitely comes in very handy when sewing. I love it! And, yes, it would be perfect for your granddaughter! It’s very easy to do, and takes only minutes.

Great idea making it a dual use item.

[Samantha_Bryant]

Thank you! I was getting tired of having to grab for my basket of clips and my pin cushion, separately. I thought, it would be nice to have a pin cushion that kept my clips, as well. So, this thing was born.
