Quick and Easy Easter Basket Gifts for the Seamstress


Easter baskets are traditionally filled with candy and trinkets ... little treats after the Lenten fast. But for the sewist in your family perhaps another kind of treat would be more appropriate. 


Fill a plastic egg with a few sewing essentials. Thread, threader, snaps and buttons and a length of stitch witchery and a thimble. Whatever you can find to tuck into an egg. Maybe your sewist is a vintage enthusiast? Fill your egg with vintage notions. Whatever you stuff your egg with will be a treat that travels or comes in handy in an emergency. And what a fabulous last minute addition to an Easter basket and a gift that keeps on giving. 

Happy Passover or Easter from the folks at the Vintage Pattern Marketplace!

Free Patterns Everyday - Vintage Strawberry Pin Cushion Pattern

19th Century Strawberry Pin Cushion Pattern

The 19th Century woman didn't stray far from her sewing. Whether it was embroidering a cushion or a hankie, making or mending a dress, or decorating a hat, her pins and needles were always within reach. These lovely little strawberry pin cushions are easy to make with sawdust stuffing. A 12 inch diameter circle of fabric makes three pin cushions. Perfect as is or team up with a thimble and spool of thread as a gift for someone you know who sews. Download this easy to make pattern HERE.
