Hemline Classic Tomatoe Pincushion
With an attatched Strawberry Pin Sharpener Pod
It is believed that the tomatoe pin cushion design originated in the Victorian era. According to common belief, placing a tomatoe on the mantel of a new house was thought to bring prosperity and keep evil spirits at bay.
When a tomatoe was not available, people would improvise by using a round ball of red fabric filled with sand or sawdust, which also served as a convenient place to store pins! At some point, a small strawberry containing emery powder was attached to help keep pins sharp.
The Hemline Classic Tomatoe Pin Cushion with an attached Strawberry Pin Sharpener Pod is the classic addition to any sewing kit! This traditional tomatoe-shaped pin cushion is not only a cute and functional accessory, but it also comes with a handy attached Pin Sharpener Pod shaped in the classic stawberry.
