Description and Details
Pretty Sajou gold plated brass dressmakers thimbles, made in a traditional design of seed clusters.
The thimbles are beautifully made and are widely used in the couture houses of France. They are available in sizes 0-6, and come in a box with a pretty vintage print.
Each thimble measures 2 cm high and the following sizes are measured using the diameter of the base of the thimble.
If you aren't sure what size thimble you wear, use a narrow strip of paper and wrap it around the base of your fingernail. Cut the paper where the 2 ends meet and measure the length of the paper in millimeters. This size is the circumference of your finger.

Sajou produce haberdashery items made in France to the highest standards (in some cases even produced on the original old machinery). Perfect for gifts and collectors, and for those of you unable to resist a quality that is seldom found in todays mass produced haberdashery products.
Sajou was created in 1828 by Jaques- Simon Sajou, selling haberdashery for embroidery, tapestry, lace, crochet and weaving. His pattern albums are sought after to this day by collectors worldwide. In 2005 the Sajou brand was purchased and revived by avid collector; Frederique Crestin- Billet. Many of the old designs have been faithfully reproduced and there are some new designs that have been added in the Sajou style.
Materials: Gold Plated Brass.
