Protect your fingertips when working with needles and pins.
The tailor’s thimble, unlike normal thimbles, dispenses with the closed dome and therefore has dot shaped notches on the side, allowing for lateral sliding of the needle. The tailor’s thimble from silver coloured steel comes in sizes 16.5mm, 17mm and 17.5mm.
A rim at the lower edge of the tailor’s thimble prevents slipping of the needle and provides additional protection during sewing as in the case of the thimble.
Tailors sizes 16.5mm, 17mm and 17.5mm.

I bought one of each size so that I knew I would have the perfect one when I needed it – saves my fingers when hand sewing and basting
