What's this episode about?

The straight pin has been around for centuries, and guess what? Its function has remained pretty much the same! Yes, it was used for putting fabric together, but it was also used as an early paper clip.

When I'm without a clip, I've been known to reach for one of my lovely glass headed straight pins to bind my papers!!!

What you'll learn in this episode is that it has a LOT in common with the evolution of the hand sewing needle (Episode 2)...INCLUDING the scary nickel used to produce it.

But you'll also find out the ORIGINAL use for ....the pincushion! Stop the presses! REALLY!

Join us for this podcast on the fascinating story of straight pins, and you'll never take yours for granted again!!
