My DH just walked in my sewing room and said “can I have a needle and black string so I can sew on a button” black string!?!
came back in all proud he was able to sew it on, lol and he said “I even moved the button over a bit so they would be tighter on my waist”
GET OUT

There is no way I could ever see my DH try to sew anything. Love that your DH even moved the button over to change the fit!

I recently saw a youtube video about making a pincushion in an altoids tin using wool scraps. Has anyone tried that? really looked cute.

I've made an Altoids box covered with a crazy quilted top for a swap once, but I didn't use any wool. Unfortunately it went away in the swap before i even thought to photograph it. It contained little trinkets for crazy quilting, but it would have been fun to have the inside be a pincushion.
It would be fun to make one with wool.

I do think I saw that before, but it's been a long time. That IS a very cute idea, with the coils.
Seems like we got some kind of a tin box in our goodie bags in AZ one year. The lids were decoupaged with little fabric pieces. I know I have it in my sewing notions somewhere. But it's just a tin -- not a pincushion, I don't think. That would be a cute thing to use it for.
