Sewing News About
New Things and Familiar Oldies

I love reading magazines and visiting websites to look for sewing news... you know... interesting information regarding new sewing notions and products on the market, improvements made to favorite sewing notions, as well as new free projects offered by various companies. Here's where I share my favorite finds.



Thimble, Thimble... Who Has the Thimble??? Here's my sewing news update on a notion that's been around forever

I know that a lot of people collect thimbles and I've seen some really amazing ones, both antique and just plain decorative. But... as for thimbles that are actually made for current sewing enthusiasts.... I had no idea there were so many different kinds available! I'm used to the kind my grandmother used... you know, the metal kind that takes all kinds of abuse (unless you accidentally step on it or roll over it with your sewing chair).

Now you can find all kinds of thimbles to help you with your sewing and quilting projects! And they're not your grandmother's thimbles any more! Of course those kind are still available and always will be. They are classic!!!

Anyway, did you know about.....

Ergonomically designed thimbles for sensitive or arthritic fingers.

Soft rubber thimbles which are flexible, lightweight, colorful, and could probably take a smashing or two!

Thimbles which conform to YOUR finger. These are made from deerskin, pigskin, and various synthetics.

Let's not overlook the specialty thimbles available now too. There's one called "Marian's Magic Quilting Thimble" which is designed specifically for those of you who spend hours lovingly laboring over your quilt masterpieces. What the "magic" is... I don't know. I think it has a special feature that holds the thread for you.

Oh, and for those of you who don't like covering your finger... there's the "Thimble It". It's a small adhesive pad for your fingertip. Use it, toss it. There are 60 to a pack.
