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...😂)
