Custom-sized thimble

DIY

• From PCL plastic
• Leather thimble [1]
  • For stitches — Use a baseball stitch or a corset stitch/cross stitch. [2]
  • For leather material — This suggests using cowhide split leather in a 3-4 oz weight.   [explanation] [explanation]
  • If you want to thrift leather (from gloves or shoes, for example), use this to distinguish faux leather from real leather.
