Wrist Pin Cushion with Elastic Band – Cute Pincushion, 16 Prints

A soft, puffy pumpkin of a pin cushion on a black elastic band. Slip it over your hand and it sits on top of your wrist, so your pins move with you instead of rolling across the table, and both hands stay free to guide your fabric.

It is small and light enough that you soon forget you are wearing it: about 8 cm across and 3 cm tall, stuffed firm enough to hold pins upright, with a fabric-covered button at the center. Nothing to buckle or fasten. On it goes, and off it comes, in a second.

And there are 16 cheerful prints to choose from, from ditsy florals and paisley to a playful carrot print, so you can pick one that makes you smile every time you sit down to sew.

How to Use It

Slip the elastic band over your hand so the cushion sits on top of your wrist.
Push pins into the cushion as you pin, and pull them out as you sew.
Take it off when you are done; it sits flat on the table as an ordinary pin cushion too.

Who It's For

Machine sewists who want pins at hand without reaching across the table
Quilters pinning long seams and blocks
Embroidery, cross stitch and hand-sewing fans
Anyone who has lost pins under the sewing table
A small, cheerful gift for the sewer, quilter or seamstress in your life

How This Compares

Against a magnetic wrist holder. Every pin sits upright in the stuffing, pointing the same way, so you can pick out exactly the one you want with one hand. There is no magnet near your machine, phone or cards.

Against a strap-and-buckle wrist cushion. There is nothing to fasten: the elastic band slips on over your hand, which makes it quick to take on and off between tasks.

Against a tabletop pin cushion. It goes where your hand goes, so your pins are always within reach, at the machine, the ironing board or the cutting table.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of a pin cushion in sewing?
It keeps your straight pins in one safe place, points down and heads up, so you can grab one with one hand while the other holds the fabric. A wrist pin cushion keeps them on your hand, wherever you are working.

How big is it?
About 8 cm across and 3 cm tall (3.14 × 1.18 in), small enough to wear comfortably through a long sewing session.

How do the pins stay in?
They push into the firm, stuffed cushion and stay upright. It holds pins without a magnet.

How does it go on?
The black elastic band on the underside slips over your hand; there is no buckle, snap or hook-and-loop to fasten.

Pick your favorite print and keep your pins right where your hands are.
