Then I cut a 3 inch hexagon(one of my favorite shapes lately) out of the beautiful velveteen.
I cut some batting a little bit smaller than the velveteen and glued it to the wrong side of the back. Then I sewed around the hexagon, leaving one side open so I could turn it right side out.
After I turned it right side out, I placed some glue on the magnet and put it inside the hexagon before sewing the opening closed.
Now the fun begins : ) I picked two colors of crochet thread and big stitched around the hexagon.
It is going to be a fun pinkeeper to use! It will travel well and not take up much room because it is flat.
This was such an easy, quick project. Simple and soft and satisfying : )
If you make one, I would love to hear about it....

This looks great! I haven't seen anything like it before... intriguing with the magnet...
Clever and pretty! :D

Totally awesome tutorial. I will make one or three :) of these. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Your furbabies are ADORABLE!
Hi, I hopped to here from your TGIFF post. I think this is fab! I'm happy with a pin cushion but this looks perfect for needles. I usually put them in the pincushion but they end up disappearing in it :( Thanks so much! I must buy magnets :)
This is really gorgeous, what a great idea. Thaks for sharing and linking up
Awesome! What a great idea! Nice work!
Could you tell me what kind of magnet you used. The ones I have won't work through the magnet. Thanks!
These pin keepers are awesome. What brand/kind of magnet did you use.
