New Pin Pillow
I've had the same pink tomato pin cushion for years. The same traditional, multi-colored, round headed pins....I decided it was time for something different : ) I thought these flower headed pins looked fun. It turns out that these pins are longer and thinner then my old traditional pins - they go through the fabric so smooth - and they are nice sturdy steel. They're certainly not more expensive then the other pins, so I was delightedly surprised to find how nice they work! I like them so much that I made them their own little pin cushion out of a scrap of my Grandmother's old fabric : ) I bought a box of 75 pins, so I should have plenty, and I already gave away my old pins and their cushion... the old ones are still good to use, but I don't need both sets.

I got mine at the local Joann's Fabric store....if you google 'Dritz flat flower pins' there are many places online you can order them too.
Cute! I still hang on to what is left of my 39 year old pins because I have no others that glide so beautifully through my fabrics. :)
What a pretty pin cushion.. And how nice to know, you are using your grandma's fabric for it.YOu will be able to think about her, every time you sew..
