A Pincushion for Kacie

I decided to make my friend Kacie a pincushion for her birthday.  She got a sewing machine not-too-long-ago, and had mentioned she was planning on taking a sewing class, so I thought it might be handy.  (I think I need one now too...)  I followed this pattern that I found via Sew, Mama, Sew! which ends up being by Oh, Fransson! too.  It's a weighted pincushion (I used flax seeds to weigh it down.), has a handy (removable) thread catcher, little pockets for keeping your seam ripper and other small tools, as well as an area specifically for keepin' yer needles.
