Title: Pins and Needles - Pin Doco
Post by: swinks on August 09, 2012, 07:12:37 AM
I know this is not really in the right section but it's inspirational and a good watch.

Doco is called Pins and Needles - cool chic opens a shop combining pins to play and sewing / clothing shop. She has a cool range of machines with a big focus on Embryon.

Thats Molly Atkinson.
That location has unfortunately since closed down.
She has re-opened P&N , a much smaller version of it- elsewhere in LA.
Planning to visit the location in 2013 as part of the next PPE trip

You can follow her on Facebook.

That was excellent. In a male dominated hobby, it is great to see the ladies getting involved. Fantastic collection as well. Good for her - I hope she succeeds  ^^^

Hey, what a cool lady ! She has a great personality for sure and looks like a great friend to have.
I liked how when she lost the ball during a game she gave the machine the middle finger and laughed.

A well done fun video.  ^^^

Great collection and good to see her doing own repairs. The bug doesn't just bite males.
Thanks for sharing.

My favorite quote so far...
"we're bummed that at one point, you know, all the games were out in public - for people to play,
and now they're all, like, at some dude's house who probably doesn't want you coming over that much."
