Glove lining question

[motocouture]

Here’s a link to a sample cotton flannel at Joann’s....I use it in plain colors to line small bags etc, or as a interlining layer to add softness / padding

No worries at all! Gloves look fairly daunting, so keen to see how it goes!

by the way, found this website that sells outdoor fabrics; the micro-velour might be good if you’re in a cold climate. Otherwise maybe a simple cotton flannel from Jo-Ann’s night do the trick for lining the pigskin  (strongly recommend prewashing any fabrics, as natural fiber fabrics can shrink from 5 to 10%, and fabrics are often treated with stabilizing chemicals for weaving).

Again, Thank you for all your help.

I’m sure @A6C5O7will be first to try and make a pair of glove before me and rightly so as this is his thread and I seemed to barge in on it. I hope he is not offended as I’m only very interested also. I will also look forward to seen how he gets on at making his pair of gloves. They certainly don’t look too easy to make. 

The only leather supplier in Ireland is a small shop in Dublin and they also make gloves. I was only there once and I noticed they had clicker dies for all sizes of gloves. I will try to contact them again and see if they’re willing to help me in the process of making my pair. Then I will share the process here too.

You have peaked my curiosity as well.  I am pretty rough on work gloves and would love to try and make a pair that would last.

I went to Google books to see if I could find the book you have.  Sometimes I get lucky and find something there for free.  I think this may be the same one you have available as an eBook for $6.  Practical Glove Making

No worries at all. I encourage the barging. Keeps a thread alive. My father wants me to make a pair with his 45 year old buckskin, first one he got as a child. Figured I'd make a few out of pigskin to get the technique down and then try with that leather. I' love to see gloves anyone has made! It seems to be a dying art.
