The zipper measures 2 1/2" and I sewed it by hands. It is really fun to work with these small products sometimes during working on a big product.

Your thimble holder is very elegant and lovely.
I'm going to go smash the stinkin' plastic rust-colored pill container that I use! |
Sewjoyce, we can get them in the craft store here. Well, it is the tiniest size of all the line-ups.

Panda that is so cute! I was really inpressed with your teeny tiny zip as well! I just got a Roxanne's thimble recently which came in a little drawstring bag, which I thought was nice - until I saw yours!

Here's the thimble with it's bag and a pic of it on my finger!
K x The bag is a kind of velvety fabric - you can see it picks up fluff and lint! [ATTACH=CONFIG]34010[/ATTACH] Here's the thimble on my finger! [ATTACH=CONFIG]34011[/ATTACH] |
Wow, it is cool!!
It just fits right on your finger tip!! But I cannot sew with that type of thimble, boohoo. Why did you stop using the circular bandaid?? |
The sticky things got really slippy and slidey if my hands were warm and kept moving so I kept hurting my finger! Hans didn't like to hear me keep going ow ow, so he encouraged me to buy this thimble in England a couple of weeks ago. I could never get on with a normal thimble but I love this one! At first I thought I wouldn't be able to get used to it but, as it cost 30 UK pounds - it is silver-plated (the solid silver was 70 UK pounds) (!) I persevered and now I really like it! It stays good on my finger and lets my nail poke out and because of the hole, doesn't get sweaty. I also got some clear sticky pads to wear on my under finger when I'm quilting - Hans insisted on those as well because he didn't like me hurting my finger! Those were really hard to get used to - I thought I needed to feel the tip of the needle to keep my stitches small. At first, I cheated and wore a sticky on my middle finger but felt for the needle with my index finger, so Hans wouldn't know, but he heard me saying 'ow' and worked out what I was up to! Now I've got used to them as well and my stitches are as good (or bad!) as before!
