Sounds like your hand needs more rest before you put it to "work" sewing.

Glad it's feeling a bit better.
And just so you know, when I was about 10, I accidentally slammed a car door on my mother's hand!

I thought she had already gotten out of the car, but she had grabbed the side of the door, and I didn't notice--and I slammed the door to close. Poor thing, she was in a lot of pain. As a kid, I was just so totally shocked by what happened, and felt like I had to be the worst kid in the world.


I ended up being more upset than my mother. Sometimes kids are just oblivious to their surroundings. Luckily, her hand was fine in a few days.
