My Story
Jan Marie Larson makes sterling silver thimbles and quilting accessories which are sold at Quilt Shows throughout the USA. Most of them are designed and cast by Jan using the lost wax process.
As an experienced silversmith, Larson creates sterling silver sewing tools and thimbles. Her amazingly comfortable sewing tools will quickly become favorite family heirlooms, passing down through generations of creative stitchers like you! These treasured handmade thimbles come with a lifetime guarantee: Jan will repair and/or replace it for the life of the thimble… she will also trade you sizes and styles at any time. This is a great gift for a grandchild because she can come and choose a new size/style as often as she needs it for her growing fingers.
Each thimble is created using the lost wax process; meaning that every piece is first made out of wax. The wax is then burned out and replaced with molten silver to form a thimble that is unique -- like you!
They are all 925-sterling silver and rarely allergenic. (925 parts out of 1000 are fine silver and the rest is a combination of copper and zinc)

Thimbles For You from Fairfield, Iowa will be returning with us in 2023!
I am a silversmith. I make and sell sterling silver thimbles and sewing tools. Each one is unique: It is cast and hardened and finished by hand in my studio.
Each of my pieces come with a lifetime guarantee: I will repair and replace anything that happens to your thimble, forever. If you use it so much that you punch a hole in your thimble, I will repair it and mail it back to you. If your finger changes sizes (for any reason) I will trade your poorly fitting thimble for one that fits.... any time forever. If you gift your beautiful, heirloom thimble to a friend/relative, they can bring it to me and trade it for a thimble that fits THEM. Children are allowed to trade their thimble ANY TIME for a new size that fits them. Many grandma's teach their grandchildren to sew. Keep the thimble at your house.... The only thing that I can't fix is "lost". Don't lose your thimble!
Thimbles for You
Have you ever wondered how to make a thimble? In this week's episode I introduce you to Jan Larson from Thimbles for You as we take a look inside her fascinating workshop!
We discuss:
👉 her silversmithing process,
👉 various DETAILED products and even
👉 how to size your finger for a proper thimble fit! 😍
Go to:
https://youtu.be/qTDchJDb_1U to watch!
Will you be anywhere Kansas in the coming months?
Are you going to be in or near Birmingham Alabama? Somewhere I heard you would be in Cullman. I cannot find anything about a quilt show being there on quilt groups. I am really interested in seeing you thimbles.
We are less than two months away from our quilt show! Welcome to our page, we are excited to meet each and every one of your in July.
Over the next eight weeks we will feature one of our vendors every day. This way you can get to know our vendors and see what will be offered. If for any reason you aren't able to make it, links to our vendors websites are always on our vendor listing online.
Our first vendor profile today is Thimbles For You from Fairfield, Iowa.
