18TH CENTURY PIN PILLOW MINI SEW ALONG

These pin pillows were a practical tool that every 18th century woman owned. You can find 18th century images of pin pillows being worn at the waist, along with scissors, in a work bag or on a table. They survive in museum collections in various forms (usually fancy). Our pillows today are simple to make and can be a great scrap buster!
