Here is Barb's thread about making a thimble you might want to give it a try.

Excellent thread.. thanks for posting it. I'll see about getting hold of some leather.

Barb later tried her DIY thimble and didn't like it.
"Actually, I've tried this one, and it's too wimpy for kiltmaking. It's soft, and it slides around, and the deerskin wears out too fast. The original Dritz design that I copied is much sturdier, lasts longer, and doesn't slide around on your finger.

Cheers,

I think that Barb was referring to the thimble referenced in this reply to her DIY thimble thread:

Barb, I found this leather skin thimble that seems to be what you show in your design.

I thought I'd post the link in case it is something you could recommend.

Yes, I believe that I misunderstood. Thanks for clearing up my confusion.
