Don't you just hate when  you are a humming along on your sewing machine and have to stop to manually push the pins you remove from the fabric into a standard Pin cushion? I HATE it.  I prefer to pull pins from a Standard Pin Cushion and unload on a magnetic one.  Most craft or sewing stores sell magnetic holders you can drop pins on but most of the ones I have found are ugly and made out of cheap plastic.  Here's how to diy your own gorgeous version in about 5 minutes or less.  Don't sew? This is also a great way to keep bobby pins under control.
