tomato pincushion
Needle-holding fabric fruit
A tomato pincushion is the small, tomato-shaped cushion used to hold pins and needles during sewing.
The attached strawberry-shaped piece contains emery powder for cleaning and sharpening needles.
The design became standard in the 19th century and remains the most recognizable form of pincushion: She kept her grandmother's tomato pincushion in her sewing box.
