LARGE - Square Emery Pincushion - Keeps Pins Sharp - Black White Elegant Ironwork
Description
This one’s larger than my regular Cotton Emery Pincushions. It has over double the amount of emery tucked inside._______________
Are you familiar with the little strawberry that comes along with the famous tomato pincushion? Do you know the purpose of that strawberry? It's an emery pincushion. Its purpose is to sharpen your pins and needles. It is filled with a mineral called "emery". Emery resembles fine metal shavings. It is used as an abrasive in industrial applications and on things like emery boards.
I searched high and low for a larger emery pincushion with no luck, so I decided to start making my own.
This pincushion measures approximately 3 inches (7.62 cm) square. It’s covered in a black and white cotton fabric.
Actually, it’s covered twice. I wanted to be sure that the emery didn’t escape through the seams or through pinholes made into the fabric. I first made a pillow from muslin and filled it with emery, then covered that with the print fabric.
These are the perfect pincushions...They're cute, they're heavy so they won't slide around your work surface, they hold your pins and needles, and they're sharpened with every jab. What more could you want from a pincushion?
Please note that you won't receive the pincushion pictured. Each one is very nearly identical though.
The second picture shows what emery looks like. If you'd like to purchase just the emery to make your own pincushions, please check my shop to see it listed.
Please check my shop for a matching Pincushion Ring, Emery Pincushion Ring and a regular sized Emery Pincushion.
Thanks for looking!
