A few weeks ago I posted about finding the sewing boxes my great grandma liked to make {link}. They were tucked away in the garage in a box and it was pure treasure when I found them again. After looking at the whole set, the random colors and the pin cushion also made up of little bits I decided that using up leftovers must be in the blood. Maybe it was something my grandma instilled in my as a small child.

In tribute to my grandma and my great grandma, I made a mini sew box with a mini pin cushion. I wanted something to put in my mending basket – Friday is now my mending day officially – and this is just the thing. You can make the mini sew box and pin cushion in just a few evenings of crafting.
