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?
