Use a thimble!

July 16, 2020

I was working on fabric masks for my son who is a firefighter. I poked my finger — ouch. A few days later it was infected — I had to have it drained, lanced and then I took antibiotics for 10 days. More expensive than just buying the masks — but I’m still making them for my family and now using a thimble!
