At a certain point in a woman’s life, the importance of a pin cushion becomes clear. For some it is aged forty plus, lovingly darning their husband’s socks; for others it is earlier, when they realise that sewing their socks themselves is not such a bad idea after all.
This can either be seen as the beginning of the end, or a whole new horizon involving fun novelty accessories which only add to the charm of your home.
An afternoon browsing on Folksy.com for fun handmade pin cushions only proves this last point.
