The Clover Protect and Grip Thimble is the best thimble available today, bar none. And it’s my personal favorite.

We’ve recently made some improvements to the shop section of our website. Here are the highlights.

In which we introduce our contribution to the Once Upon a Thread book-inspired sewing projects for our kids. So fun!
