So cute! Is there an old story behind the tomato shape of the pin cushions from long ago? I feel like I've heard one before. Thanks! Brenda 🌼

[@JanHowell]

I'm not aware of any, but would love to know if there is.

@@JanHowell People in the Victorian Era used to put tomatoes on their fire mantle to give them luck and protection. During winter months when tomatoes were not in season, people would make them out of fabric. Back then, pin cushions were also used to display needles and pins, they were put on shelves to show off collections. Eventually, people started putting their pins inside the fabric tomatoes. It has since caught on and you can now find tomato pin cushions everywhere they sell sewing materials.
