Having posted a pic on a FB page, I was asked about the shirt I'm wearing and where one could procure such an item. Well, firstly, thank you for the compliments! And, secondly, this is a Thimbles Original! I have no pattern for it, other than an idea and some clever cutting. 😁🧵✂️
The second photo here shows the fabric from which I will be making the next shirt! She'll be available soon!

Hello, friends! Thimbles will be undergoing a bit of a transformation in the upcoming weeks! While work is still underway on the workshop renovation, I'm hard at work creating a full line of vintage inspired clothing! I knooooow!!! 😮❤
What this means for you is there will soon be readymade products listed for sale. They will be in limited quantities but I'm still taking in custom orders. So if you see something you like but it's not in your size, contact me and we'll get that going for you!
What you can expect product-wise... As many of you know, I absolutely love history! It's a passion, especially domestic history! So, naturally, I'm drawn to vintage fashion. This new clothing line, Thimbles Originals, will focus primarily on styles of the 1930s-50s. Am I limited to those eras? Have we just met? 🤨 No, of course not! As I said, I'll still be doing custom work. 😊❤
In the upcoming weeks, you can expect not only product listings but more activity here overall! New posts! New videos, including tutorials and Get Ready With Me vids! And so much more!
I'm really excited about the direction Thimbles is going. Thank you for coming along! 😊❤
