Beautiful Sewing Tool








I found this book a couple of weeks ago and instantly fell in love with these exquisite Japanese thimbles! They are made of paper, floss and colourful silk yarn. If I make one, I doubt if I actually “use” it because it’s so beautiful.

I could never use one either... the thought of needles snagging those beautiful designs is horrible!

It is just amazing and I feel a little ashamed because I didn't know about this thimble only until recently...!
