I'm making a dress using newspaper print fabric. Sewing by hand for lack of a machine I of course got distracted and found another project to take a break. In fairness making a pincushion would give me a practical advantage while sewing the dress!
Heating a penknife over a candle I cut/melted a large hole in the plastic lid of an empty face cream jar. I cut a circle of fabric around twice as large as the lid. I had no stuffing so used a ball of fluffy wool, putting it in the center of the fabric circle and pushing through the hole in the lid. I cut a round circle of cardboard and wedged it into the lid to keep the wool in. I glued the excess cloth to the cardboard using PVA glue.
...then I got back to sewing my dress.
