DIY Sashiko thimble making (Part 2) with a metal covered button kit

Thank you for watching!
This is the second Sashiko thimble making video.
Some of Sashiko thimbles are made with metal so I used a metal covered button kit to make this thimble.
Sashiko thimbles are not essential but help a lot if you have one when you stitch Sashiko.
They are not particularly easy for me to find at shops so I make them by myself!
If you are interested in making a soft type rather than this metal type, please watch the previous video (Part 1) from the link below.

Thanks 🙏
I have used a beer cap from my husband’s beer bottle instead of the metal button.
It worked well!

Thank you so much❤️😊

[@jaynewood6714]

Thanks! I think I’ll make one

[@thegreenwrapper]

Thank you! I’ve been using it all the time. The curved shape of the button really helps to hold the needle (at least for me). I hope you like it!

[@elizabethsawyer5906]

Thank you so much this looks great!

[@thegreenwrapper]

Thank you! This one is my favourite😊🪡🧵❤️

[@shaunatan8241]

Great tutorial, thank you. I made one with a token coin and mini hair elastic. It's a little thick because I use denim.

[@thegreenwrapper]

Your thimble sounds great❤️ Thank you so much for sharing a great idea😊

[@etwasvonmir7130]

That’s amazing😍 Some people tag my account (with @) when they post the photos of their works on instagram. I think it sends me a notification…I think. Or you can DM me on instagram👍

Ah!
It's like taking magnesium and putting epsom salts water in one's cream.
All, is healed and nothing more breaks.
That,
is this thimble.
It sorts it alllll out.

Brilliant! I have watched both videos and am excited to make some. Question..... could you also use real leather, or would it be to difficult to push a needle through?

[@thegreenwrapper]

Thank you for your comment😊 I’m actually not sure if real leather is too hard to stitch through, but the commercial one is, I believe, real leather and it’s just single layer so you may not need to make layers with real leather. I suppose it depends on the thickness of the leather❤️🧵🪡
