These traditional pincushions are made in the Biscornu shape which means 'skew, quirky or irregular' and there is something very appealing about them! These are handmade, beautifully firm pincushions Filled with crushed walnut shell and waste fabric. Made from high quality linen and cotton fabrics and buttoned with vintage buttons from my inherited collection. They are a lovely weight and have plenty of room for lots of pins and needles. The crushed walnut shell will keep your pins and needles sharp and also makes a very appealing noise when pushing them in
