HorsehairBraider Report post Posted April 25, 2009 I made some once (all hand sewn... blargh.... ) and what I did was get a store-bought pair that fit me real well, noted where they needed to change, and then took them apart and used them for my pattern. It worked pretty well. I'm sure you already know that gloves with more "parts" or pieces generally fit way better than gloves made out of two pieces: a front and a back. That thumb gusset is a little tricky, but since I was stitching by hand I just took it slow. If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't... I'd beg someone to sew them on a machine. It was very time-consuming. I have to say though, I have never since had a pair of gloves that fit me that well! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevinhopkins Report post Posted April 26, 2009 Hi...I agree...One pair is the only pair I needed to make in order to realize that there is a reason for professional glove manufacturers. I'd buy em! Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
