How to sew gloves?

Gloves are a very elegant accessory. But often, the quality and style of gloves that you can buy in the store do not match your desires and needs. From this there is a way out - gloves can be sewn. It is not as difficult as it seems at first glance, especially if there is instruction. Before you sew gloves, you need to decide on their type. Either you will sew classic gloves, or gloves without fingers. Also, depending on the purpose for which you will need gloves, the choice of material will depend. If you need warm gloves for the fall, then it's better to choose a skin. If the gloves will serve only decorative purposes, then you can take fabric or lace.

The edge of ordinary gloves

If you still decided to sew warm gloves, thenyou can consider two options - to sew gloves with your own hands from a dense fabric, and sew them from the skin. There is no fundamental difference in the process of sewing such gloves, the difference is only at the stage of cutting the details.

The optimal size of pieces of skin or skins is 35x50 cm. The necessary tissue size may be different, the main thing is to measure the hands.
Measure your hand along the longitudinal line of the palm - from the base of the thumb to the edge of the palm. This will be the width of the future glove. You can simplify your task and simply circle your old glove.
The pattern looks like a mirror image of twosides gloves without adding sections of thumbs. The length of your entire palm from the top of the middle finger to the base of the palm is deposited on paper. In the middle there is a fold. The sections for the thumbs are cut out separately, however, as well as the sections for the other fingers - if desired.
Before you sew gloves made of leather, you needmake a pattern and correctly transfer it to pieces of skin. Seam allowances are usually already taken into account on the pattern, but on the lower cut it is better to make another increase for the lap width of 1 cm. Cut out the parts from the skin and spread out the skins in one layer.
The details of the pattern on the skins should be placed in the direction of the pile, and at the same time, make sure that the direction of the pile coincides with the direction of the pattern arrows.
You need to know that each of the gloves is on each hand. One - on the right, and the second - on the left. For each of the gloves is covered 6 pairs of wedges.
For one glove, you need to cut 2 main parts, 2 thumb parts and 12 paired details of the wedges of the fingers.
If you cut gloves from the skin, and not from the fabric, then the scissors do not cut out the details. For this use a razor blade.
Cut out details are usually sewn by hand, using the seam "over the edge". And at the same time, it is necessary to check that the edges of the parts fit snugly against each other.
