First up, the quick and adorable tartlet pincushions from Zakka Sewing. You can find these little tartlet tins at any kitchenwares store and truly - the actual project takes no time at all.
And have been wanting to make this other one from Last Minute Patchwork for ages. It looks far more complicated than it turned out to be. Although the pattern didn't call for buttons, I have a small handful of lovely vintage ones from my Mom and I have been keen on adding them to some projects lately. This one was too good with these fabrics (plus it covered up the fact that the points didn't match 100% perfectly on the top!).
I don't need all of these, so I think I'll use the button one for myself and save the others... Yay - I can finally retire the pincushion that I've been using for ages! It has a number of needles stuck inside, so I am randomly poked when I least expect it. It will be nice to avoid that.

you should sell me the little tartlet with the trees the next time i see you! they are all really great.
Ooooo...me likey!
You've finally found a use for those tiniest of scraps...what a great idea! Who hasn't got room for a new pincushion or three... those should sell like hotcakes! Also, if you make larger ones, they could be used to display collections of vintage brooches, stickpins or hatpins etc.
