Thimblena Story

Item #5048

(April, 1988) Thimblena is very handy with a needle and thread. She found a size 14 thimble in the woods, and decided it made a perfect hat for her. She’s sitting on a spool of Clark’s Button and Carpet thread and holding another spool of thread, for there’s always one more thing to mend. Her circus coin says “Shows” because she sews where it shows! Thimblena and her husband Darn are so tiny, that when they go for a walk they first tie the end of a thread to a twig near their front door. This helps them find their way back home. Thimblena loves to look over the new cloth and buttons that Taylor sells. She knows that people who sew will never be threadbare.
