ReUse and ReCycle - Old Sweater Sleeve into Cute Pincushion.

I found myself doing more sewing nowadays, and I guess I've realized that a pincushion would be really useful. However, I don't really feel like digging in the storage for the little bit of batting or polyfil that I would need to create a wee little pincushion.
However, I did have some pieces of sweater leftover from my sweater resizing project to create this!

Well, really, you have a pin cushion now! You can add buttons, appliques and other notions to make it pretty. I got inspiration from this beautiful pincushion to embellish my own.

I suppose it could be even fancier... but I really like it this way!
