Being a collector of sewing smalls and thimbles (sorta), I want to share pix of my little crocheted needle savers. I think maybe someone might look and figure how to make their own. I can share the sizes. The thimble holders were crocheted around turkey or chicken wishbones. I think that is unique and they're quite old. Just some of the 'dust catchers' in my house![ATTACH=CONFIG]450144[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]450145[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]450146[/ATTACH]

I've collected these for many years….all individually made, which I found most appealing. My grandmother crocheted very well and they would always remind me of her.

Oh my gosh! My mom had one. I took it and used it for a Barbie hat. I believe her's was pink. Thanks for the memory

Thanks for sharing. I am a long time thimble collector, too.

Hello, mermaid, thanks for showing your little needle cases: looks quite the same as the one of my friend!!! And there are thousands of miles between us....
