A tutorial of sorts.
I really should make a proper tutorial; one with a list of materials and clear step-by-step instructions and whatnot. I didn't take pictures of the crucial first part of the process. *shrug* Whatever. I will just have to assume our Dear Readers are intelligent enough to know what to do just from the pictures. (I'm also assuming we actually have readers.)
Cut out a piece of fabric that will fit into the bottom part of where the cassette sits. It goes without saying that you need an empty cassette tape jewel case. If yours has those little protrusions that fit into the cassette holes, you will have to figure out a way to snap them off. If that fails, learn to live with it. If you are wondering what the hell a cassette is, I suggest you shut up and go bother someone else.
Sew the edges together to form a tube, then sew one end of the tube shut. Stuff with your choice of pincushion filling, then sew the other end shut.
You should end up with a length of pincushion that fits into that bottom part of the case. (I kinda overstuffed mine a tad. Don't do that with yours.) When open, it's a neat little pincushion that keeps all your needles lined up nice. Closed, it's a needle case that keeps your needles from accidentally jabbing you when not in use. (see topmost picture)
