NEEDLES USED AS PINS

Here is an excellent gift for someone who loves fine sewing. Make a square pin-cushion, and stick around the four edges a border of sewing pins made iu this way: Take different sized needles, and melting some sealing wax, dip the eye end of each needle in this, twisting quickly about to make a head of sealingwax. These make delightful pins for pinning fine sewing, or for dressmaking. Thq points of needles, are so much finer than ordinary pins that they slip in the work easily and make no holes in fine materials.
