I made this wrist 'needle cushion' at the request of my acupuncturist. And I love it so much that I must now make one for myself for as a pin cushion for sewing (and Calvin's requested one 'just for wearing because it's so pretty, and who can turn down a request like that?). I used black elastic for the band part, and two circles of wool felt for the cushion. There are buttonholes on the bottom circle for the elastic to go through. Then I embroidered and added some felt to the top circle. Stuffed it all with cotton, and used a blanket stitch to close up the circles. I think next time, I'll put a circle of leather on the bottom too--because OUCH, that would hurt if you put the needle all the way through to your wrist. Not good.
