Thimble&Co: DIY Tools

Start your very own DIY project with these new tools from Thimble & Co.!

Youâ€™ll have to play around with the bottom row of items to see the actual overlay, I suggest putting them over a background. ;)

i messed up the coding but well, just click the thing hahaha

Marx 04/17/14 6:37 am

here's what the last row will look like over a background (full black background in this case). just imagine your avatar in the middle. you can't see them in the preview because they're white on transparent!

left to right: replacement hobby blades, cutting mat, metal ruler, tracing paper roll
hobby knife, half metal square, lace border punch

previews would have been better if the wardrobe actually worked right now lol

Stiles 04/16/14 7:58 pm

The last row is still eluding me.

RustonRampallion 04/16/14 12:37 pm

Ooh, I just saw one of these nifty items in the shops - aaaaaaand it's gone...

springblom 04/16/14 10:01 am

oh my goodness. o_O grabby hands

Marx 04/16/14 9:39 am

what lovely ideas! backgrounds always feel too busy for me and there are just so many perfect solutions to that here.

Skolletta 04/16/14 1:07 am

These are awesome! :D I'm going to have a lot of fun playing with them once I snag them. :)

Who's the artist?

devils_flame666 04/15/14 9:54 pm

I didn't think those were chalk at first...

StarShadow 04/15/14 8:56 pm

Nevermind I figured it out. Just got home from work and brain is fried.

StarShadow 04/15/14 8:54 pm

So except for the windows none of the other backdrops show up for me. I saw on Subetalodge that they're transparent but if we can't see them how do we know what they look like. And they all look exactly the same. Darn.

popducK 04/15/14 8:17 pm

Need that hobby knife : o

Pluma 04/15/14 7:14 pm

ohhhh shi~ these backdrops are really cool. i like that the windows are actually windows! layering ftw!

Glitter 04/15/14 5:27 pm

AH MAH GAWH Please tell the artist these are awesome! My inner paper crafter is dying! xD

bipolarness 04/15/14 3:57 pm

lol those chalks don't really look like chalks when they are behind the ears on the ha. xD

Merlin 04/15/14 3:52 pm

Any idea when the broken Wardrobe for Chrome will be fixed? Logging into another browser just to check what the bgs were kind of took some of the fun out of this..

FCoD 04/15/14 3:45 pm

So cool. :)

red5luke 04/15/14 2:43 pm

Here's what you need to do to see the bottom row items:
To see what the items do, go to your wardrobe, add a background to your HA, then choose "all clothing on Subeta." Enter any of the new items in "Filter Name:" and you will be able to see the effect.
I just did this, and the bottom items are pretty cool. The tracing paper, metal ruler, and lace punch are my favorites.

dead 04/15/14 2:24 pm

i dont understand omg i feel so dumb but what exactly does the bottom row do???

Carpathia 04/15/14 2:13 pm

Not sure why the windows at least aren't in Home Appliances instead, but I do love them all!

I just....wow.
casually stalks Thimble&Co
The chalk is amazing, I'm interpreting it as really hot (Disclaimer: this person finds men with long hair ridiculously attractive, this may not be the case for you. xD ) male hair, but I love that it could be used by either gender.
:heart:

Neverfell 04/15/14 1:33 pm

Thank you for the windows; I like to make HAs with interior backdrops because of the element of narrative they open up but there's a limit to them so these open up such a range of possibilities. I love wearables that obscure part of the backdrops so that a part of them can be illuminated in new ways, so I love the frames for that too. Above all, I'm so grateful that you put these items somewhere readily available. <3<3<3!

Neverfell 04/15/14 1:18 pm

I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!

Stakely 04/15/14 1:09 pm

These are so clever! I want them all

SYLVAN 04/15/14 1:09 pm

Oh goodness yes, those background masks are AWESOME!

Socks 04/15/14 1:01 pm

The tracing paper is GORGEOUS. Can't wait to get my hands on it!

Maniac 04/15/14 12:47 pm

The metal ruler is my absolute fav <3 But they're all a must have. Thank you for such wonderful and creative items!

Inknote 04/15/14 12:36 pm

these are the actual coolest things ever

HYPEBEAST 04/15/14 12:34 pm

I'm going to need several of these items!

Blanche 04/15/14 12:20 pm

I NEED IT ALL

Lypsyl 04/15/14 11:56 am

These are incredible. I can't wait to see the HA's people make out of them.

Alison 04/15/14 11:55 am

Thank you! These are all amazing! So many good ideas.

dainty 04/15/14 11:34 am

I want the entire bottom row, oh my gosh. How pretty!

Anasazi 04/15/14 11:31 am

I want all @.@

Ambrosyne 04/15/14 11:27 am

Ooo! I want them all!

Straywillow 04/15/14 11:18 am

This is very exciting! Thanks!

Maruun 04/15/14 11:15 am

Wow thats one amazing set of new items!! I really need to get them all!! xD

CakeMoose 04/15/14 11:06 am

oops, I love submitting things before I finish typing.
I was gonna say I love who ever made these :)

CakeMoose 04/15/14 11:05 am

More art supplies that are also cool wearables? :kissing_heart:

Rue 04/15/14 11:03 am

These items are amazing! I can't wait to get my hands on them.

Chaosdawn 04/15/14 11:01 am

I don't suppose anyone can post the previews of the bottom row of items? I can't get my wardrobe to work at all and Subeta Lodge doesn't show them on backgrounds. =(

Avedis 04/15/14 10:56 am

Ah, these are a lot of fun! I'd love to see some floors that stop right about where those windows end (hardwood, carpeted, etc.) to complement, but I really like these!

Tinkerbell 04/15/14 10:52 am

As the daughter of a carpenter this makes me happy :) Can show support of my father with these!

Thelma 04/15/14 10:52 am

Well of course it is, it's super rare. Should've known! At least it will give me something to do, I've been pretty bored here lately.

Thelma 04/15/14 10:50 am

My favourite is the Tracing Paper Roll.

Kel 04/15/14 10:50 am

Oooh, very interesting this last row checked over Subeta Lodge

Falini_Fyreheart 04/15/14 10:43 am

These are so neat! I took a look at them in the Wardrobe. Looking forward to having a few of those.. :)

jersey 04/15/14 10:34 am

Okay looked at them all in wardrobe and these are so fun.
Hope even more get released eventually or maybe some genetech recipes are made that create others :)

Cresenta 04/15/14 10:33 am

I NEED THEM ALL! __

~~Wolf_Spirit~~ 04/15/14 10:32 am

Those are just...just...GAAAAAAAAH!!!! MUST HAVE ALL OF THEM!!!!!!

Bohicon 04/15/14 10:29 am

Nice! I want them all!

Holly 04/15/14 10:23 am

love the metal ruler!

~~Color_796~~ 04/15/14 10:22 am

Ok I tested that last line of item in the wardrobe and I have not had such a mighty want in a long time. I never use backdrops because I always find them too invasive, this is like. The absolute perfect tool for me. They're going to make HA making life a lot more awesome. Great idea, so simple yet so kick ass I am very pleased.

far 04/15/14 10:21 am

I really love them.

Natasha 04/15/14 10:20 am

I checked out some of the invisible items in the wardrobe and I love them! :)

Anberlin 04/15/14 10:20 am

Oh dear, there goes one of my favourite places to restock for a few weeks. >w< Such pretty new items! I'm really curious to see how the bottom row works!

Kisrah 04/15/14 10:19 am

Yeah I posted too slow. xD Can't wait to see them updated! :)

StarShadow 04/15/14 10:16 am

Love the windows, hope they're layerable

Amber STAFF 04/15/14 10:16 am

@Kisrah I've already fixed them, they just take a few minutes to update in the post. :)

dotSei 04/15/14 10:16 am

Those overlays are nice. Wow.

Geth 04/15/14 10:15 am

I caught one and I don't even know what it looks like. Haha! Never restocked something that just came out. (TokenShop excluded)

Kisrah 04/15/14 10:15 am

These will be fun for layering. :D Some of them are showing broken images though. And by that I mean the icon for broken images is showing in the overlay. :(

Zebriane 04/15/14 10:14 am

Ooooh boy, that chalk! I need each and every one. ;v;

Rowan 04/15/14 10:14 am

I love the Draftsman chalks, especially the stubby one.

jersey 04/15/14 10:14 am

Really liking these (at least the ones I can see right off lol)

Beowulf 04/15/14 10:13 am

This are so pretty!

Amber STAFF 04/15/14 10:13 am

(a few of the item overlays show up as broken in the news post, they'll update in a few minutes to work. Silly cache)
