-

Cut out a circle of tracing paper the desired size for your pin cushion and pin to two pieces of fabric slightly larger than the circle.
-

Sew the layers together using the circumference of the circle as a guide, leaving an inch gap.
Unpin the circle and turn it inside out.
-

Stuff cushion with wadding and sew the gap closed.
Sew a single stitch in the centre of the cushion to create a dimple.
-

Sew tight loops of cotton thread around the cushion passing through the centre to create 6 segments (see photo).
-

Sew buttons in the centre of each side of cushion to hide any untidy ends.
Voila!
