How to Sew with a 🔥METAL🔥 Thimble || Improve Your Hand-Sewing Technique || CoCoVid 2020

The ability to sew with a thimble (especially a metal one) has slowly disappeared over the past 50(ish) years, and as a result, one of the most important tools in our sewing kit has gone missing. However, sewing with a thimble is an easy and fast way to up your dressmaking and seamstress skills, will help you maintain a proper hand-sewing technique, and make it so you can hand stitch quickly and for longer periods of time. So, in this video, I'm going to get very *passionate* about using metal thimbles, talk about thimble sizing, what finger your thimble should go on, and how to sew with a thimble (I demonstrate how to sew a running and basting stitch, and how to sew a hemstitch by hand). If you're ready to up your sewing game - then let's do this! (Also, a metal thimble makes for a great little festive hat if you ever want to flip someone off with pizazz. just saying...😂) 🥳Socials Website: https://www.abbycoxcreates.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamabbycox Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/abbycox Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamabbycox 🧵Thimbles and More Information https://archive.org/details/maryfrancessewin00frye/page/n5/mode/2up http://www.simonsbrothers.com/thimbles.htm https://www.thimblesforyou.com/product-category/thimbles/ Size Chart (Why is everything related to metal thimbles stuck in 1990s Geocities hell?) https://www.sizes.com/tools/thimbles.htm 📚Further Reading: The American Duchess Guide to 18th-Century Dressmaking: https://amzn.to/2BOi79
