Little lettuce monster pin cushion

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 :leafy_green:

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. :flushed:

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…)
