Why You’ll Love This Mason Jar Sewing Kit
One of my favorite things about this project is its versatility. Mason jars are inexpensive, easy to find, and perfect for storing small notions like needles, thread, buttons, and pins. Adding a pincushion lid turns a simple jar into a compact sewing kit that’s ideal for travel, gifting, or keeping in a drawer for quick repairs.
This project also works wonderfully for:
- Handmade teacher or neighbor gifts
- Craft fair items
- Sewing room organization
- Stocking stuffers or small holiday gifts
This month I discovered Avery printable labels, and let me tell you I’m obsessed. These are not just any printable labels. These labels are high-quality and perfect for gift-giving or DIY projects.
Avery Labels Review
The Avery labels are new to me and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. I chose to work with the square ones, but there are also ovals, circles, and tags. The paper is very high quality, too, and looks great when printed on. You can get them in matte or glossy finish.
Here’s what’s cool… Avery has thought the whole process through for you; you don’t need to be a graphic designer or own any extra software to use these labels. They have provided online software to handle the whole process for you, and it’s customizable.
After working with the square labels for a bit, I decided to design a label for a DIY Mason Jar Sewing Kit. I think these make great holiday gifts for crafty folks, and the label seemed like a great addition. If you’d like to make your own, you can download a PDF of my printable below; it’s designed to fit on the Avery 22846 square labels.

DIY Mason Jar Sewing Kit Instructions
Supplies Required
- Quart-Size Mason Jar
- Fabric Scraps
- Polyester Stuffing
- Hot Glue Gun
- Sewing Mends the Soul Printable Sticker
- Avery 22846 Labels
- Fancy pins and other sewing notions to fill your Mason jar.
Step One: Turn the Lid into a Pincushion
To create the Mason Jar Sewing Kit, all you need to do is turn the lid into a simple pincushion.
Ball up a bit of polyester stuffing so that it fits on the top of the mason jar lid piece (not the ring that goes around the mason jar).
Use a bit of hot glue to hold it in place.
Next, cut a piece of fabric about 2″ wider on each side than the mason jar lid. Pull the fabric over the stuffing and the mason jar lid and secure it on the wrong side with hot glue. Remove excess fabric with scissors.
Cut a piece of felt the same size as the mason jar lid to cover the fabric on its underside. Hot glue this piece in place.
Slip the cushion part into the mason jar lid ring. You may need to “wiggle” the stuffing around a bit to get the ring to pop on.
Step Two: Add the Tag & Fill
Download the printable and print it onto the Avery labels. Then just adhere the label to the front of the jar and fill it up with goodies. Now you’re ready to gift it to your favorite seamstress.
More Ways to Use the Printables
You don’t have to use the printable only for a Mason Jar Sewing kit; you can also use it to organize items in your sewing room. I love how it looks on my button jars.
What sewist wouldn’t love some fabric as a gift? Just add the label to a bag for a simple gift.
These black-and-white polka-dot gift bags are the perfect size to hold a couple of fat quarters, making them a great gift for your favorite quilter.
