Welcome!
At dottyral, you'll find unique and practical pincushions all handmade by me. You won't find pincushions like these at the local craft store!
Are you familiar with the classic Tomato Pincushion and Strawberry? Do you know the purpose of that strawberry? It's filled with a mineral called "emery". Its purpose is to keep your pins sharp. A few years ago, I went on a search for a larger emery pincushion and there were none to be found. I searched out an industrial supplier of emery and started making my own. I've been selling them ever since.
Not long after, I started making matching Pincushion Rings stuffed with polyester fiber fill. They're so cute and so practical. They keep your pins and needles "right at hand". No more sticking your pins in the arm rest of your chair or in your pant leg! No more lost pins for your family to find.
Just recently I started making Emery Pincushion Rings. That's right - Pincushion Rings filled with Emery. Now they're even more practical. Your pins are close AND sharpened with every jab!
If you sew or need a gift for someone that does, a matching Emery Pincushion and Pincushion Ring are the perfect pincushion system. Anyone that sews will appreciate it!
