Miniature Pin Cushion - Upcycled Miniature Vintage Ceramic-Turned-Pin Cushion - Handmade - Your Choice of One

We have an affinity for teeny, tiny vintage ceramics. They're so small, we're not sure what they were originally designed for, but we thought they'd make sweet little pin cushions. Then we added a few single salt shakers that had lost their partner somewhere along the way.

Now, just to be clear, because of their size, these miniatures are more decorative than functional. The do work as pin cushions but won't hold as many as a stand size would. Still, we think they'd make a sweet gift for anyone who loves sewing.

To create the pin cushion, we took some vintage-inspired cotton fabrics to match the base, stuffed them with pillow stuffing, and added a bit of trim for a nice finish.

This listing is for one. Your choice.
