The Honey Folk Pincushions + Coasters pattern is the third in a series of free patterns I’ve been designing during ‘shelter in place’ due to COVID19. I designed this pattern specifically to use up all those precious little scraps of beautiful fabric we just can’t throw away. There are ‘How To’ video links at the bottom of this page.

Handwork has always been my go-to when I need to feel calm and grounded. When we evacuated from our tiny forest in Sonoma County to San Fransisco during the 2019 fires I spent my days sitting on my friend’s couch mending their clothes and drinking tea. It made my heart happy in a really scary time.

I decided to make the pattern a free download because I think a lot of us need something constructive to do with our hands and minds during this crazy time. I think it would make a really sweet gift to send to someone to let them know your thinking about them. We all need kindness, compassion, and love right now more than ever.

I hope you enjoy this pattern.
