Magnetic pincushion with Moominmom, a gift for my friend, 2026
hand embroidery
A little Nessie pattern I designed and turned into a needle minder =D
Pattern (paid, my design)
Little update on the tree:
Also, these ones? I'm really trying hard to find myself a needle minder without having to buy one, so I dug up a number of pins that I have:
I was figuring - if I use a metal pin, attach it to the canvas, then put a strong magnet underneath then it should be able to hold something as small as a needle, right?
IF ONLY ONE OF THE PINS WAS ACTUALLY MADE OF MAGNETIC METAL, GODDAMMIT. They're all apparently some crap alloy 😑
... Immediate update:
My husband saw me making this post and brought one more pin - THIS ONE IS METAL!!! I married a saint 🥹
Do you use a needle minder during your embroidery/ cross stitch projects?

No
Sometimes

A needle minder is a magnetic stitching accessory designed to help prevent your needle from getting lost when you need to take a short break from your stitching or as you are changing threads.
