The Sewtique Stitchery

If you’re anything like me, your sewing room reflects your mood, your season, and your sense of whimsy. And when fall rolls in with crisp air and pumpkin-spiced everything, I can’t resist adding a little spooky charm to my crafting space.

That’s why I had a blast creating this Halloween Cauldron Pincushion—a one-of-a-kind, handmade piece made from an upcycled ceramic mug that looks like a witch’s bubbling brew!

Topped with ghost-print fabric and sparkly orange trim, this pincushion isn’t just practical (hello, spooky beaded pins!)—it’s downright spellbinding. With accents like a jack-o’-lantern charm, a monster eyeball, and green slime dripping from the rim, it’s got that perfect creepy-cute vibe we all secretly love.

Why I Make Upcycled Pincushions

At The Sewtique Stitchery, I love turning forgotten finds into functional treasures. Upcycled mugs make the perfect base for pincushions—they’re sturdy, adorable, and full of story. Plus, it’s one small way to add a bit of sustainability to our crafting lives.

This particular pincushion was inspired by all the crafters and quilters who live for spooky season. Whether you’re sewing Halloween costumes, working on a seasonal quilt, or just love a little gothic glam on your desk, this piece adds a playful punch to your creative space.

A Perfect Gift for Makers & Witches Alike

If you’re looking for a fun Halloween gift for your favorite sewist (or for yourself—no judgment!), this pincushion is available now in my Etsy shop:
