Thank you for this!!
I tried the black leather thimbles, but I push the needle with the side of my finger, not the tip, and the needle head would go right through the seam. I like the Dritz leather thimbles, the seam is on the top of the finger instead of the side, but I love the idea of making my own thimbles!
