Tulip Red (Akabeni) Pin Cushion

$45.00

Keep your hand-sewing needles and pins safely within reach with this beautifully made Tulip pin cushion from Japan.

The softly rounded base is crafted from natural cherry wood, giving the pin cushion a warm appearance, comfortable feel and reassuring stability on your sewing table. Because genuine wood is used, each piece has its own subtle grain and character.

Its Akabeni red cushion is made from thick, high-quality cotton sheeting with a smooth finish that allows needles to be inserted easily. The carefully selected inner padding helps protect stored needles against rust during long-term use.

Akabeni is the January colour in Tulip’s collection of 12 pin cushions inspired by the months of the year. Its rich Japanese red makes this both a practical sewing accessory and an elegant addition to your workspace.
