Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Dritz Pin Cushion Tomato with Strawberry Emery
Customer Review: My first!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow, I was looking for a new pin cushion (from Amazon) when what to my amazed eyes do I see but an image (mirage?) of the very first pin cushion I ever owned. There, right there on the page--the tomato pin cushion with the little baby attached! Identical to the one I had some 45 years ago!!
When did I get that pin cushion? It must have been in ninth grade when I took Home Economics I so I could learn to sew*. What I do remember is how functional that little tomato was. It was perfect for the right number of straight pins used in pinning the pattern to the fabric. When I say "right number," I mean the pin cushion was the size of a medium-sized tomato and just right for all the necessary pins.
What amazes me is that Dritz still makes the same pin cushion. Don't you love it when a company knows it has a good product and leaves that product alone, opting for the tried and true instead of something "newer and better." However, one can get that tomato in other colors now and a larger size.
My mother called while I was writing this review. During our chit-chat, I mentioned the Dritz tomato pin cushion and my review. She informed me that the pin cushion was hers, not mine. I remembered it because I used her sewing machine and all her sewing supplies. However, she said, what was hers was mine, too, and that's probably why I remember it as being mine.
But the most amazing thing? She still has and uses that very same pin cushion! Even though I use another brand now, I am giving five stars because Dritz has not changed its product! I admire that!
*Home Ec was one of two of the most practical and beneficial courses I took in high school. The other? Can't you guess that typing was the other? I think, today, that it is called Keyboarding. I wonder if Home Ec is still on the menu? It should be!
Addendum 11-27-10: At the time I wrote this review, I had no idea what the purpose was of the little hanging tomato. I recently read in a sewing book that it is filled with emery product and is used to stick pins and needles in to sharpen them!
