A little patriotic pincushion you can make in an afternoon. The American Flag Pincushion Kit has everything you need, right down to the sand filling and star buttons. It finishes about 4" x 4", and it makes a sweet gift for a sewing friend.

What's in the kit

• The American Flag pincushion pattern
• EasyPiecing instructions
• 1 piece of half-inch finished EasyPiecing Grid by Ten Sisters Handicraft
• Fabric squares for the front, plus fabric for the back
• Silica sand for filling
• 3 white star buttons

How it goes together

EasyPiecing Grid is a lightweight fusible foundation that gets sewn right into your project. Place your squares on the printed grid foundation, press them in place, and sew along the dotted lines. Cut 1" squares for the half-inch grid. Once it's sewn, you get clean, crisp squares every time.

Helpful tips

• Tack your cut squares in place with a washable glue stick before pressing.
• Use a pressing sheet so the adhesive doesn't stick to your iron or ironing board.
