My sewing room includes many accessories that I have designed and created, myself. I love general sewing as much as I love quilting. So, whether I am sewing with my bigger Viking Sapphire 870 Quilt... or my much tinier ...Singer Featherweight...every one in our family gets new 'clothes', accessories, and fun craft and quilting supplies! (here's some one else's free pattern that is a different take on mine, above. I don't mind sharing what I do, and still linking up to other people who've done what I did a little differently!
I've made my own sewing machine pocket mats, magnetic wrist pincushions and wrist protectors, pincushions, pattern weights, snippets threadcatchers, roll-up scissors holders and many different sized tote bags for quilting supplies.
I love collecting, sharing, and using so many fun patterns that I am sharing my collection with you as my 'Frugal Friday' exchange. My free patterns lists to-date includes free patterns for pincushions, scrapcatchers, needlecases, scissor holders, sewing bags, sewing machine covers, chair covers, traveling iron bags, armchair caddys, wall organizers, clothes hangers and computer monitor covers.
Like my 2,500 Free Quilt Patterns links, you must come back often, as the list will be continually updated!
And if you have tutorials on your own site, just link this post on your site and I will become aware of your blog and add your links to mine, plus give you free advertising for your blog!

While
previously watching another pincushion challenge going around blogland,
I was motivated by the dilapidated condition of my own favorite wrist
pincushion, to make a new one...and this time take photos of the
process!
I especially love this creation, which I designed
several years ago, because it also works as a wrist protector/support
band for my over-used wrist and its issues ;) It can be made with either
one very wide piece of elastic inserted inside (like my original
version) or with channels that hold several thinner rows of elastic
(like I had...pardon the pun...on hand) to use here.
In this youtube tutorial, "The Chicken Pincushion", from the Missouri Quilt Company, Jenny
demonstrates how to make an adorable pincushion that can be customized
to fit your own style.
Everyone loves this little chicken not only because it’s
quick and easy to put together, but also because it is a great project
to use up leftover charms or orphan blocks. Click HERE now to watch The Chicken Pincushion Tutorial!
Or
click here, if you're on metered Internet or just prefer a free
printable pattern. There are so many of them, but do remember that it
took a very long time and the passing of its inventor to come into the
free share ware world of free quilting and project tutorials.
So,
many quilters take other's patterns and pass them off as their own on
the Interent that it's always important to give credit where credit is
due and almost nothing is original anymore! Someone has created it
before you ever did!
