A pincushion is a small, cloth covered, padded ball or cushion shape, into which pins and needles are stuck. Not only does this prevent the pins and needle from being lost, or accidentally sticking into a person, it was often decorated with embroidery and beads as a decoration, and fastened to the sewing basket.
