Description
Thimbles are small protective devices used in sewing that fit over one of the fingers. They protect the finger or thumb from accidental pokes of the finger, and they can be especially useful in pushing a needle through heavy cloth like denim or leather. The modern thimble is usually made of metal or plastic and usually has small round indents along the top and sides. A needle fits into one of the dents and save your finger from the hard work of pushing.
