Begin to make the miniature needlework cushion or needle holder, by basting the needlework scrap to a piece of fabric backing. Baste the needlework, right side up, to the right side of the coordinating fabric. Make sure you sew just outside the finished needlework as you will use the basting lines as a guideline for sewing the cushion sides. Sew these basting lines as straight as possible.
