This heirloom-style tomato pincushion is handmade by me using a mix of vintage fabrics and hand/machine stitching.
The tomato & strawberry are made from 100% vintage wool in rich, autumnal tones. The sweet little attached strawberry is filled with emory to keep your needles sharp.
The strawberry & tomato are topped with yo-yos made from vintage Smithsonian fabric, The Rising Sun design. The top of the tomato is finished with hand-dyed ribbon for an old-fashioned, authentic look.
I finished the bottom of the tomato with an antique Mother of Pearl button.
A classic sewing room companion, this pincushion blends function with beauty—perfect for hand sewing lovers, collectors, or as a thoughtful gift for a stitcher.
