Long lasting

I was clearing my sewing bits and pieces away, and decided to blip my pincushion.
I made it at school when I was 11 years old. The filling is layers of flannel and it still had the original cover (remnants of material from a school uniform dress) until a couple of years ago when I decided an upgrade was necessary. I even copied the original embroidery on the edges and remembered how difficult I had found it the first time round!
I was amazed to find that a school friend still has hers, made at the same time.
We both agreed that our sewing teacher would be gratified to know that they lasted so long.
