My divider pins outgrew their original pincushion so I made a big red velvet one to fit this rather splendid painted wood bowl.
Divider pins are used to hold back, separate and generally act as anchors on lace making pillows. I made many of these from beads glued to needles and many wooden ones when I was learning to wood turn. The rest arrived in mixed bundles of experienced bobbins and an occasional gift.
Today I discovered one was also a needlecase! I have had it for a while and when I pulled it from the old pin cushion, the top came off, revealing it's secret.
