Medieval Brass Sewing Pin Set - Set of 6 Pins

Medieval Brass Sewing Pin Set - Set of 6 Pins

MEASURES:

• Total length: 4 cm / 1.5 in
• Approximate thickness: 0.6 mm

These brass sewing pins are inspired by everyday tools that were essential in medieval homes, workshops, and travelers. Although the wealthiest often had silver pins, brass was prized for its durability, affordability, and corrosion resistance, making it a common choice throughout Europe.

Each pin is hand-finished with a smooth taper, allowing it to pierce fabric with ease. The twisted loop head is not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical: it provides a better grip and makes threading easier.

Historically, these types of pins had multiple uses:

• Secure veils and head coverings
• Fasten robes and garments
• Assembling garment layers without permanent seams
• Quickly repair or adjust clothing while traveling

The warm golden hue of genuine brass adds a touch of understated elegance and period accuracy that modern stainless steel pins simply can't replicate. Whether displayed alongside other historical accessories or actively used to secure garments, this pin set highlights the importance of small details in achieving an authentic look.

Unlike some modern replicas that are too thick or have a rough finish, these pins are thin enough for fine fabrics yet durable enough for everyday use, striking the right balance between functionality and historical appearance.

IDEAL FOR:

• Seamstresses and tailors who create historically inspired garments
• Seamstresses and textile enthusiasts dedicated to precision
• Collectors who appreciate authentic period tools
• Repairs and adjustments of historical garments
• Displays with sewing kits or medieval accessories

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Keep dry to preserve the warm brass finish.
• Buff occasionally with a soft cloth if a higher shine is desired or allow to develop a natural patina over time.
• Store them in a cloth case or box to protect the tips and preserve their condition.
