Inspired by both the recent Chanel Spring Couture show and Downton Abbey these long gloves keep your arms warm and add a bit of sophistication as well.Īs promised from Monday’s post here is part 2 using the sleeves from the long sleeve henley from the Mod Black and White T-Shirt DIY.Įven if you don’t make Monday’s DIY, this is a simple and fun way to make a pair of long gloves. TIP: After about an hour your Jewel-it glue will be dry enough to hold your beads while you sew them on. Take your needle and thread and sew each bead on to your gloves. The Aleenes Jewel-it glue will hold very well, but if you want to you can also sew your beads on. Use your Aleenes Jewel-it glue and put 3 drops about a half inch to 3/4 of an inch apart. I put mine at my wrist right on the seam.
Lay your gloves out on a flat surface and measure where you want to place your beads. Using your fabric glue, put a small drop on the raw edges of your thumb holes to hold your embroidery thread and keep your t-shirt from running. You just want to cover the raw edge of your cut. I sewed a blanket stitch, you can do any stitch you like for this.
Take your embroidery thread and a needle and sew a decorative edge around your thumb hole. You want your thumb to fit through easily, but you dont want it to be too big. Put your hand inside your glove to make sure its big enough. I really apologize for this, but you can see me measuring and cutting the thumb hole in detail in the video.) (As you’ll see in the photo below I forgot to take a photo of cutting the thumb hole before I sewed around it. TIP: Since this is such a small hem to sew you can sew it by hand or even use a fabric glue to make your hem.Ĭut a slit about 1 inch long in your sleeves where you pinned for your thumb. Using your sewing machine, sew all around the top edge of your gloves. I used a very tight fitting t-shirt for these sleeves and I didnt need to take them in. TIP: At this point, if your sleeves are too loose you can turn them inside out and sew along the seam to make them tighter. Take your pins and mark where you want to make the hole for your thumb. I like mine to stop just past the palm of my hand.
Decide where you want your gloves to end.
Lay your gloves out on a flat surface and make sure theyre both the same length. I used the sleeves from the long sleeve t-shirt I used in this DIY.
