This pin cushion features the legendary young drummer from Richmond, North Yorkshire.

It is a practical sewing companion and a heartfelt keepsake. Whether displayed in a workroom or gifted to a fellow maker, it brings with it the echoes of cobbled streets of Richmond, regimental tales, and the timeless rhythm of homegrown craft.
