About this product

The Prym Tomato Pin Cushion offers a charming solution for keeping your sewing supplies organised and readily accessible. This classic pin cushion takes the form of a delightful tomato shape, constructed from red cotton and measuring 79.5 x 1.7 x 0.7 centimetres – a compact size that fits neatly into any sewing kit or basket. It’s designed to securely hold all your pins, ensuring they are safely stored and in one place, preventing accidental needle pricks and keeping your workspace tidy.
