I have been doing a lot of sewing over the last year and some of my sewing pins are being worn̈ and blunt.
Decided to replace them. They also get dropped and end up in the vacuum cleaner.
These are my pots of pins with a cotton reel for comparison.
When we were first married, first or second Christmas, Warren's company gave their staff a Christmas hamper. I remember there was some cheeses and Christmas puddings, four individual one plus a larger one. They did have lids.
I can't remember when I started using these as pin holders but they have been with us for over 50 years. Now one serves on the sewing table ready to pin, the second one is on the side of the sewing machine for when the pins are removed and the third lives where I cut out patterns.
I have tipped them over on occasions but not too often. Wide packing tape goes over the top for moving purposes as they have moved house approx twenty two times. They must be the oldest household item that I have and will continue to use.
