my 3 children never bothered my pins or my sewing things and i had a sewing business while they were growing up. i always had several sewing machines set up and lots of fabrics, pins, scissors, rotary cutters, the whole gambit sitting out in the open. i custom made children's clothing and made a lot of clothing for my daughter. my children were used to people coming over for fittings and knew not to mess with anything.
but the cats, well that was another story.
