This DIY boot pin cushion by PayItForward on YouTube is so adorable and stylish. I love how she provides a free pattern because it looks hard to make. However, the free pattern saves so much time and effort. It’s so much easier when things are outlined out for you, and all you need to do is trace these patterns onto your felt fabrics. This is such a creative way to make a pin cushion, and it’s a great gift idea to make for your friends that love to sew. The instructions in this tutorial are explained thoroughly in detail. I’m surprised how quick it is to make this DIY pin cushion.

Next, stitch the pieces together, and sew one side at a time. Make sure to double stitch in the inner tongue of the shoe so it is firmly put together.
Overall, this is an easy beginner-friendly tutorial that doesn’t require a sewing machine. I love how simple this tutorial is because it looks harder than it seems. The boot design is a creative idea, and I love Doc Martens. I’m amazed that she was inspired by this look because of how many pairs she has. It’s a super trendy sewing project that you can put your own spin on it.
