I heard that you can make a finger protector in leather to use when sewing and that they work really great, so of course I had to try it. They DO work great.
I used a holepuncher intended for fabric to create the holes that i sewed in, with thin-ish yarn.
It's not super pretty, but it works!
Thank you! it's perfect for scraps.
I have not made proper saddle stitch, but I kind of did it for the cardholder I've made (I'll show it another day). But instead I sewed one side first and then I went back to sew the other side with the same thread. So the end result should be a saddle stitch?
Not sure this is saddle stitch since the thread seems to go around the edges. Looking forward to checking out your cardholder!
No, this is not saddle stitch, sorry I was a bit unclear :) It's some sort or cross stitch
