The small strawberry pincushion is stuffed with emory. This will sharpen your needles and pins every time you use it. I filled the large strawberry with crushed walnut shells. They add some weight to it and don't attract bugs like rice and other stuffing materials. I love the little Ladybug Bead on top. It adds a little whimsy to it.
The needle case has a green felted wool center. It is the perfect size to carry a variety of needles. The Scarecrow in Wheelbarrow project I'm working on now calls for multiple colors of perle cotton. It is helpful to thread needles with each color. That way when you need to change color, you can just switch to a different needle. This is the perfect place to store all those needles until it is time to use them.
We have a whole set of sewing themed tea towels. This one the perfect companion to the rest of the projects featured in this pattern. Any of these projects would make a great gift for someone who sews. Whether it is someone who quilts, embroiders or does garment sewing, this would be a much appreciated gift.
