A bit about Sonia: She has an obsession and fascination for vintage sewing machines - especially colorful ones. Visit her blog to see all (22!!) of her sewing machines. Let us pause for a moment and be in awe. If you ever need a review on an older machine, she should be the first place you go to. She has a post about how to clean one and will have a review on each of her machines. Also, she sells pressing hams and other sewing supplies in her Etsy shop and on Ebay. Her fabric choices are not run of the mill - very unique, fun, and hip. Great person with a lot of talent and cool sewing machines. And no, she won't sell one to you, so don't try. She's also on Facebook!
Anyway, on to the ring! First off, the ring is beautiful. The colors are muted sage, yellow, and one stripe of pastel orange. The white flower button adds the perfect cute touch. The best part? It's actually useful! See the pins? Usually there are 30 in there when I'm sewing my lovey blankets (exact number of pins that I use lol).
Are you worried about the pins hitting your finger? Don't be! The bottom of the pin cushion is a super thick suede-ish leathery stuff (I don't think that's the correct term, but I haven't been pricked yet and that's the important part - Sonia, correct me). The actual ring is adjustable, but I have the universal size 7 finger so I haven't needed to adjust it yet. I don't use it much when I'm actually on the sewing machine because I'm so hands on with my fabric. I do keep it close by to put the pins in as I take them out of the blankets. It came in a little pink box - perfect for a gift-giving to a seamstress friend or yourself!
Sonia, thanks so much for the gorgeous ring and I'm sorry it took me so long to post this. Sonia is a dear and you will not disappointed when you purchase from her! BTW, my mom is getting one of these for Christmas.
