The tomato pin cushion has a history dating back to the 19th century when tomatoes were believed to have magical properties to ward off evil spirits. The red color and round shape of the tomato symbolized good luck and protection. Sewing enthusiasts began using tomato-shaped pin cushions to hold their pins and needles, and the tradition has continued to this day as a popular sewing accessory.
