The everyday dressmaking pin - reliable, sharp, and worth keeping.
A good dressmaking pin is easy to overlook until you're working with a bad one. SOHMO Dressmaking Pins are made from polished, hardened steel with a smooth nickel-plated finish. Fine enough to pierce fabric cleanly without distorting the weave, and sharp enough to stay that way through a full project.
At 32mm long and just 0.65mm in diameter, these are slender, precise pins suited to the demands of garment sewing: cutting and pinning pattern pieces, aligning seams, fitting adjustments and alterations, tacking darts, and marking fabric before cutting. They're equally reliable for general sewing tasks such as quilting, home décor, craft projects, and anything else that calls for a dependable straight pin.
Fine pins like these matter most when you're working with smooth wovens, shirting fabrics, cotton lawn, linen, and lightweight dress fabrics. For heavier fabrics, they hold their own too.
Packed in a sliding-lid metal tin - 150 pins, enough to see you through a full garment without running short, and a tin worth keeping once they're gone.
Please note: while nickel-plated, pins should not be left in fabric for extended periods, particularly in humid or coastal environments, as corrosion may occur over time. Store in a dry place.
