 As for tools, a leather needle with a triangular point can be really

 This page has patterns for three different types of thimble: a
 cylindrical that is the kind I'm most comfortable with, a flat one that
 has the advantage of being easy to store e.g. in a travel kit, and a
 sashiko one to protect the upper palm / base of the middle finger.
