Making A Fabric Thimble for Sewing Part One



 

I thought I would dig into my stash to see what I had to do my thimble. This is what I found ....the two faces are simply cos they are so cute. Alot of my stash has come from a lovely elderly neighbour of mine Betty who gave me old bits and pieces from her sewing basket. I have decided to use a green and pink to make the base of my thimble. I am using my little bundle of felt scraps. Also bits of braids ,buttons ,beads and embroidery floss. I have not decided what to do on mine but it will evolve. I hope you will gather your stuff and stich along with me. I will post the pattern tomorrow.

  2. Hi Sue:
    Will determine whether to sew along with you & Peggy after I see the list of stuff to make the cloth thimble. I'm now in Mexico and may not have the necessary items. Hope I do. ^_^

  5. This sounds like fun! I will sew with you. Also, I am a day late, but I am enjoying my tea party for one. I inherited a lot of my "set" from an eldery woman about 20 years ago.
