Emery Pincushion - Three Peas in a Pod
Not just cute. Practical too!
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 keep your pins and needles sharp. It’s filled with a mineral called "emery". Emery resembles fine metal shavings. It’s used as an abrasive in industrial applications and on things like emery boards.
The three little peas in this pincushion are filled with emery. There’s a little muslin sack inside each one full of emery, nothing else.
My Emery Pincushions are always covered twice. This helps ensure that the emery doesn’t escape through the seams or pinholes made into the fabric.
Do you ever have trouble grasping a small pin from your pincushion when it’s hidden below your larger pins? The three little peas could help you keep your pins and needles organized - easy to see and grasp just the one you‘re looking for. One pea for needles, one for large pins and one for small pins. Your pins are organized and they’re sharpened with every jab. Perfect!
The peapod is made from acrylic/polyester felt. No glue was used. It’s all hand-stitched.
The peapod measures approximately 4 1/4 inches (10.8 cm) long by 1 1/4 inch (3.18 cm) wide and ¾ inch (1.91 cm) high.
Please note that your Peapod Emery Pincushion may not match the one pictured *exactly*. It'll be very close though.
The fifth picture shows what the 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.
