Sohmo Glass Head Heatproof Dressmaking Pins

The pin that laughs in the face of your iron.

You know the pin. The one with the plastic head that seemed fine, right up until you pressed over it and watched it melt into your fabric (and possibly onto your iron plate). SOHMO Glass Head Pins solve that problem. The glass heads are melt-proof, so you can iron right up to them, press seams flat with the pins still in, and keep sewing without having to stop and remove every pin first.

Made from nickel-plated steel with a fine 0.6mm shank, these are slender, sharp pins that glide through woven fabrics with barely a trace. At 32mm long, they’re a useful all-rounder for garment sewing, quilting, dressmaking, pattern cutting and general sewing. The coloured glass heads are easy to spot against your fabric and easy to grip, which is particularly handy when you’re working quickly or pinning fine, light-coloured fabrics.

Packed in a reusable sliding-lid metal tin with 150 pins inside. And once the pins are gone, the tin is worth keeping for your sewing bits and pieces.

Please note: While nickel-plated, these pins shouldn’t be left in fabric for extended periods, particularly in humid or coastal environments, as corrosion may occur over time. Store in a dry place.
