Windmill Pincushion Pattern

This sweet windmill pincushion is full of character. It is machine sewn with embroidered details and best of all, real spinning sails! Whether you’re topping off a sewing space or gifting a fellow maker, it’s the kind of project that brings a smile every time you give it a spin.

Stitched in 100% wool felt, the Windmill Pincushion is a sturdy, functional piece that’s just as fun to display as it is to make. The embroidery is simple, the construction is satisfying, and the result is delightfully interactive.

The finished windmill stands approximately 5 1/2" (14 cm) tall.

Skill Level: Beginner Friendly - This one’s perfect for  beginners and beyond. You’ll need basic machine sewing skills and a little embroidery knowledge (just backstitch and straight stitch — nothing too tricky).
