I discovered I am great at losing sewing needles, one was found on the floor and the other in my pillow, so I decided to make a pin cushion before someone got impaled.
I for some reason had three different shades of green felt. Anything that isn’t felt is thread or paint pen
Edit: it was too cute to stab, so I made it a backpack.
I used magnets to secure the needles and close it when it has no thread in it ( I also lose thread a lot). I named it Ethan

Yikes! Scary story, but cute little lettuce friend.
Do you know about magnetic needle minders? You can buy them but they are easy enough to DIY. Needles lost in pillows? Maaayybeee a good next project for you.

Yes, imagine my face when he told me he found his lost needle in his pillow. Ack!!
We have small earth magnets. He could totally add a magnet pocket on the backside.

May your needles remain with your lettuce and not in unfortunate stabby places henceforth! (glad to hear the pillow incident wasn’t a problem…)

It’s expression kills me. I don’t think Ethan wanted to get stabbed either. LOL! This is fabulous.

I just love so many of your decisions! Design, colors, form AND function.
As well as the decision to not be able to stab the poor fellow! Really great work!

So cute! The backpack was a genius solution! I love how it even has room to hold your thread.
