Why do you need clothes for hands?

V modern world gloves can be worn by everyone. Moreover, needlewomen who know how to sew gloves create interesting options different types this accessory.

There are a lot of varieties: ordinary, without fingers (the so-called mitts), long, wedding, boxing, surgical and so on.

Ordinary ones are worn so that your hands do not freeze.

Mitts are comfortable in that they protect the hands themselves from the cold and at the same time allow fingers to hold something or perform any movements. That is, when exactly open fingers are needed (for example, it is convenient to use them to press the phone's touch screen).

Long ones - suitable for women as an evening dress accessory.

How to sew gloves with your own hands

Each type of gloves has its own pattern. In order to find out how to sew gloves, you can turn to book sources, the Internet, or your beloved grandmother or mother. They already know for sure!

The most important thing is to choose the right material from which the sewn gloves will be created. The pattern is drawn on paper, then applied to the selected material. In addition to sewing, you can also use other types of needlework. For example, knitting, crocheting and so on.

Consider several options for creating different types of gloves.

Beginning of work

In order to sew regular gloves, you will need a stretchy material. If, due to lack of skill, the material was taken to a smaller size, then the stretched fabric should be stretched to the right size... And this will save the situation.

To take the dimensions of the future glove, you can choose two options. The first is to measure the circumference of the palm, thumb, the length from the tip of the middle finger to the wrist, and the length of each finger. The second option (the easiest one) is to put your hand on a piece of paper and draw a hand-shaped outline. You will get a stencil of the future glove.

The pattern of one glove consists of five parts. One is the outer part of the glove and the inner one with a hole for the thumb (from fingers to wrist). The three parts are the wedges of the fingers. The fifth part is the thumb.

When all the details of the pattern are ready, they should be sewn together.

First, the thumb is sewn on the wrong side. In this case, one must not forget to retreat one and a half centimeters from the edge of the seam (so that the seam does not open later).

The next stage of work is to sew the wedges of the fingers to the patterns of the inner part and the outer part of the glove. The most important thing is to carefully sew on the wedges at the base of the fingers (otherwise a hole may form there). Further, the inner and outer parts are sewn together.

Most of the work is done. All that remains is to sew the finished thumb to the main hole in the inside of the glove.

The final touches in creating an interesting design of gloves are their decoration with fur, rhinestones, beads, beads. Thin leather straps can be added. Or flowers. You can make a wonderful volumetric satin stitch embroidery. In any case, it will be a unique masterpiece.

How to sew non-ordinary gloves?

A beautiful original accessory can be sewn from leather material. For example, mitts.

They are suitable for young people, highlighting their individuality and lifestyle. Usually they are worn by bikers, rockers and so on.

Mitts - This can be made from ordinary gloves. You cut off the unnecessary part of the fingers and, bending inward the edge, sew. This is the easiest way.

You can also make mitts using a pattern (just like gloves, you just need to take into account the sizes without fingers). This method is more complicated, but interesting. A rich imagination will allow you to create a unique thing that the coolest biker or rocker can envy.

Of the beautiful openwork lace you can sew wedding or evening gloves. They are long, graceful, and emphasize the femininity of the person wearing them.

Primary requirements

It is also important to choose the correct size of the pattern and in the process of work do not forget about the obligatory indent from the edge of the seam by one to one and a half centimeters. Success is guaranteed by accuracy, attentiveness, the ability to combine colors correctly.

If you follow the rules, you can get a wonderful original product that others will envy.

From this article, we learned how to sew gloves with our own hands. Patterns after completion creative process definitely need to be saved in a certain place. They can still come in handy, and more than once.

At the beginning of the last century, fingerless or classic gloves were a must-have accessory for noble and middle class ladies. Now the fashion for them and mitts is returning. Openwork, made of a beautiful guipure material, they are an adornment for the bride's hands. And some can be worn on other, no less solemn occasions.

We select an accessory for the image

Not only white models are popular. It all depends on what kind of image you want to create.

  • Products of white, pink and its shades, ivory or ecru colors will match the romantic style.
  • Black, gray, dark blue colors will appeal to teenagers and adults.
  • For more daring women, bright colors are suitable. But children can also be made in the same color.

How to sew guipure gloves?

The glove should be close to the hand, but not squeeze it. Therefore, the material should be selected elastic.

It is important to determine not only the size, but also the length of the hand and fingers. The size itself is the circumference of the base, expressed in inches. If you only have a centimeter tape, then the resulting figure should be divided by 2.54.

Pattern of guipure gloves. Where can I get it? You can rip up old satin or any thin models. Or redraw one of the drawings below. The first of them (1 cell = 2 cm) is given for size 6. That is, the length of the base of the palm is 6 inches or 15.24 cm. The second must be scaled to fit your measurements.

  • Transfer the pattern to the fabric.
  • Cut taking into account the allowances.
  • Make cuts on the parts according to the markings.
  • The wide part is the thumb. For the convenience of sewing, the numbers indicate the alignment points.
  • The narrow and long piece is the rest of the fingers. There are six such parts for each hand. They can be cut out with a fold. Then you need three double elements.
  • Sew the thumb element to the main one. Start from the notch, aligning the numbered areas.
  • Sew the details for the other fingers at the base in pairs, if you did not cut them out with a fold.
  • Sew "fingers" to the top of the main element.
  • Then do the same with the bottom.
  • The outer seams can now be sewn.
  • Fold in the open cut and hem.

If gloves are to be long, run an elastic band or hat elastic along the outer cut.

As you can see, sewing guipure gloves with your own hands is quite simple.

How to sew guipure mitts?

This variation is suitable for girls, women, and girls. There are two ways to sew.

  • Take the pattern of gloves as a basis, cut off the fingers even in the drawing and then according to the technology described above.
  • The second is much simpler. These fingerless gloves can be crafted while watching a movie.


Print a drawing or draw it with your own measurements. Transfer to guipure, cut.

  • Fold the two pieces face-in and sew along the outer edge.
  • Leave a hole in the seam for the thumb or grab the product along the upper cut.

Ready.

You can make a more romantic variation in wedding style... The pattern of the fingerless gloves changes. You can extend it with a corner to the middle finger, make it longer.

Tip: before cutting out from the fabric, first cut the scallop along the guipure so that the edge of the product is openwork. There is a second way of finishing - processing the cuts with an oblique inlay or a strip of lace to match.

Both gloves and mitts can be decorated to your liking. Glue rhinestones, trim with beads, fur, sew on the wrist with a ribbon bow made by yourself in the color of the product.

Gloves, in all their fantastic variety of colors, lengths and materials, are back in vogue and are a must-have for a well dressed woman... Whether it's a pair of long sexy stretch satin gloves or an imperturbable and elegant model made from the finest husky - they will leave few people indifferent.

Gloves are becoming a fashion statement in the nightclubs of major cities around the world. It has never been so easy to choose the right pair of gloves for the right occasion - from short leather models during the day to evening black elbow-length gloves.

Hand measurement

Glove size is the circumference of the palm, measured in Parisian inches, measured at the base of the fingers.

In addition to the actual size of the gloves, other dimensional characteristics are also important for the correct design of the glove. It is necessary to determine the length of the fingers, which deviates from the standard. Remember: The length of each finger is measured from the highest point at the base of the finger to the tip of the finger. The length of the thumb is also determined.

Ampon- a dimensional feature that is measured from the base of the thumb to the base of the index finger.

Rebras is the main dimension to determine the length of the glove. Rebras is measured from the muscle cusp at the base of the thumb (wrist) to the desired length.

It is useful to indicate additional information about the deviation of the shape of the hand from the standard (for example, a long, narrow hand, short and thick fingers, etc.).

In addition to complete information about the dimensional characteristics, data on the material and processing technology are needed.

Material: nappa, suede, velor leather, jersey, stretch fabrics.

Glove lining: knitted, woolen, silk lining, fur lining (short hair).

Glove seams: rustic (outward cuts) hand and machine seams, traditional machine seams (cuts on seamy side), various decorative seams.

The most common units of measurement in the manufacture of gloves are:

  • "Parisian" inch = 27.07 mm
  • English square feet = 9.29 square decimeters.

Drawing gloves

The value of the dimensional attribute The girth of the palm is divided by 8.

19.2: 8 = 2.4 cm.

Draw five vertical lines about 20 cm long with an interval of 2.4 cm. Draw a horizontal line approximately in the middle (for laying off the values ​​of the length of the fingers).

In the area of ​​the little finger, set aside 1 cm down from the horizontal and draw another horizontal here (the base of the little finger on the hand is below the rest of the fingers).

From the horizontal lines, postpone the obtained values ​​of the length of the fingers upwards. Draw horizontal lines through the obtained points and divide them in half.

Draw the rounded lines of the fingertips.

Draw a hole for the thumb, for this, set aside 5 cm from the horizontal downwards along the 0/1 line (Ampon). From the obtained point, lay down another 5 cm (the length of the muscle tubercle at the base of the thumb).

Set aside from the right outer line and line 2/3, 0.5 cm inward.

From a point on the 0/1 line, 5 cm from the horizontal, set aside 2 cm up. From the obtained point, set aside 1.1 cm horizontally to the left and right (if the palm is wide, you can set aside a larger value). Design the top of the thumb hole.

From the resulting horizontal, set aside 1 cm upwards along the 0/1 line. Through this point (on line 0/1) draw a line 2.1 cm long from the upper left point - a slot for the thumb (with a large hand, the line may be longer). Draw line segments c and d.

From the mark corresponding to the bottom point of the thumb hole (from the bottom point of the muscle cusp), set aside the Rebras (corresponds to the length of the glove). Connect the bottom of the thumb hole to points 0.5 cm from the vertical lines.

Cut out from the material (for one glove):

  • 1 piece with a thumb hole;
  • 1 piece without thumb hole - for the top of the glove.

Drawing the thumb

Draw mutually perpendicular vertical and horizontal lines. Vertically from the point of intersection, postpone the length of the thumb upward, downward - the length of the muscle tubercle at the base of the thumb.

Horizontally set aside the value of the thumb girth plus 1 cm from the vertical line to the left and to the right.

From the top point of the vertical line, set aside 1 cm to the left and right and draw the rounded lines of the fingertip. Draw out with a smooth line (see drawing) the lower part of the part for the thumb through the lower point of the drawing.

The length of the line should be the circumference of the thumb hole plus 2.1 cm.

From the horizontal line, set 2.1 cm (b) up along the outer contour of the part to determine the location of the segment d / c.

Along a horizontal line, set aside 1.5 cm to the left of the right side of the outer contour of the part.

From the end point of segment b (2.1 cm up along the outer contour of the part from the horizontal) towards a point 1.5 cm from the outer contour of the part, draw a segment 2.2 cm long.

Middle toes

Draw the middle parts for the fingers according to the drawing. The base line flew for the fingers is equal to the width of the fingers in the drawing of the glove (2.4 cm).

From the material, cut out (for one glove) all the middle parts for the fingers shown in the drawing one time at a time.

Glove sewing technology

Connect the parts by hand or by machine in accordance with the markings (the seam allowance is 0.2 cm).

The connection of the part for the thumb with the part of the glove should be started at the cut of the hole and grind sections a, b, c, d of the part for the thumb with areas a, b, c, d of the glove, respectively.

Then sew the thumb piece into the thumb hole on the glove.

Sew together the middle parts for the fingers at the base: the part for the little finger - with the first part for the ring finger, the second part for the ring finger - with the first part for the middle finger, the second part for the middle finger - with the part for the index finger.

Connect the interconnected middle parts for the fingers with top gloves.

Connect the lower part of the glove with the inserted thumb piece to the upper part of the glove.

The outer cuts of the glove parts are joined last.

Length of gloves

When determining the length of the gloves, the number of loops / buttons of the fastener matters. Despite the fact that the fastening on the loops and buttons on gloves has almost completely sunk into oblivion due to the widespread use of elastic materials, the classic "button length" still defines the norm for the length of gloves. The standard of length corresponds to the measured distance between the seam of the joint of the thumb piece and the top edge of the glove. The unit of measure for the uncovered part of the hand is "French inch".

Let's start with the shortest gloves:

Two buttons: these gloves traditionally have a total length of 20-23 cm and end at the middle of the wrist, revealing the beauty of the forearm and hugging the wrist. The opening on the inside of the wrist serves as an eye-catcher on one side and makes donning the glove easier on the other. The so-called palm-length gloves of this type can be worn all year round.

Four buttons: glove 25-28 cm long, hiding most of the wrist. A good compromise for a woman who wants to declare her elegance. These gloves look especially good under jacket cuffs.

Six buttons: another compromise, very exciting. It's less extravagant than the eight-button version, but it's an attractive length that will allow the wearer of gloves to even glance at the watch - even if it can be challenging at times! These gloves should be worn with bare hands or under a jacket.

Eight buttons: the glove reaches the middle of the forearm. These are traditional "three-quarter" gloves that cover the forearm by 14-15 inches. Although the return of these gloves to fashion is not as obvious as with other styles, it is precisely the length that simply exudes charm in the ail of Jackie Onassis.

Twelve buttons: the so-called queen of gloves that comes down to the elbow. These gloves were worn by Audrey Hepburn and a whole horde of trendsetters.

Sixteen buttons: a classic opera glove with a length of 24 inches that ends exactly halfway between the elbow and shoulder. A general rule of thumb for opera gloves is: the shorter the sleeve, the longer the glove. Therefore, opera gloves should be worn with sleeveless dresses, with short sleeves, strapless or with straps, but without sleeves, as well as with evening dresses with short sleeves.

Gloves made of thin material, fitting on the hand, have an amazing charm, emphasize grace, fragility and femininity. How to sew gloves with your own hands if in stores you cannot find something that fits well on your handle?

Don't be afraid to sew gloves yourself. There are no particularly complex units in their manufacture. The only thing you should be prepared for is that the seam allowances will be very small and you will have to sew almost along the very edge. But this is not as difficult as it seems.

Cooking a pattern

It is easiest to remove a pattern for gloves with your own hands from old gloves by ripping them apart at the seams. But you can draw yourself. Measure the circumference of the hand around the knuckles without the thumb, halve this number. The half of the glove pattern should be of this width. If the pattern is smaller, enlarge all the details while maintaining the proportions. The most convenient way to do this is in some graphics editor.

Choosing a fabric

Gloves made of thin leather will better protect from cold and wind. But in sewing leather requires not only special skills, but also special equipment. Standard metal foot for sewing machine does not slip on the skin, so you will have to purchase a special leather foot or walking foot. You will also need leather needles.


You can sew long leather gloves in the spirit of Grace Kelly

Quite warm and beautiful do-it-yourself gloves can be sewn from thick knitwear, fleece and even from suiting fabric with the addition of elastane. The main requirement for the fabric is that it should not crumble too much. Otherwise, all work will go to dust, even before it begins.

Cutting the details

The main part of the glove should be cut with a fold along the index finger, but only cut the hole for the thumb on one side. Do not forget that your hands are different, therefore the patterns should be mirrored. This applies to all details. Do not make too large seam allowances on individual parts of the fingers, it will be inconvenient to sew them. Let all allowances be the same - 3-5 mm.


One pattern for all occasions: gloves for the bride

We sew gloves with our own hands

The main question that will torment at this stage is how to sew gloves with your own hands and not confuse the details? On the pattern, each piece is marked with letters and color. After cutting, carefully lay them out on the table in order, you can mark the letters on the details with a disappearing felt-tip pen on the fabric.

You need to start with your thumb. Sew it along, insert it into the hole. Make sure that the face and the wrong side are not messed up. Then stretch your index and middle fingers in one line and sew the first strip first to the top of the glove, then to the bottom. If you succeed, you will succeed several more times.

Close the last seam along the edge of the palm from the end of the little finger. To make the gloves fit better on the hand, it is better to cut off excess allowances to 3 mm. Unscrew the gloves and fold the edges of the sockets inward.

Is it difficult to sew gloves with your own hands?

Cast on 40 stitches of yarn # 4 onto knitting needles # 5 (5mm thick). The dialed loops will determine the length mitts. If you need shorter mitts, use fewer loops on the knitting needles. If you need longer mitts, cast on more loops. Be sure to leave at the same time long tail yarn.

  • Yarn # 4 is a medium gauge twisted knitting yarn.
  • You can also use a different type of yarn, but then you need to choose the appropriate knitting needle thickness for it.

Knit the required number of rows with knit stitches to get a canvas that you can wrap your palm with. In most cases, this will be about 48 rows of knitting. Be sure to knit each row with front loops. As a result, on both sides of the knit, you will get a well-stretched pattern of alternating rows of front and back loops. When knitting, do not alternate rows with front and back loops, otherwise your mitts will not stretch well enough.

  • Alternatively, you can work with pearl knit. Then knitted fabric will stretch well in both directions.
  • Close the hinges. Once the knit is long enough to wrap around your palm, close the loops. Cut the thread, leaving a long tail. Pass the ponytail through the last loop and pull gently to tighten the knot. Don't cut the ponytail.

    Fold the knitted fabric in half. Match the first and last rows of knitting. This is where the side seam will be located. Place your hand on the folded canvas, aligning the ends of the lower phalanges with one of its narrow edges. Mark the level at which the top and bottom points of the thumb set aside are located.

    Sew a section of the side seam from the top of the mitt down to the thumb. Insert a long tail of yarn into your knitting needle. Sew the side seam over the edge to where the thumb joint begins. For most people, this distance is 5 cm.

    Hide the remaining end of the thread in knitting. Once the seam on the top of the mitt is as long as you need it, tie a knot on the threads and weave the remaining end back into the seam (towards the top of the mitt). Cut off the excess.

    Sew a section of the side seam from the bottom edge of the mitt down to the thumb. Insert another ponytail of yarn into the knitting needle. Sew the bottom of the seam with overstitching stitches. Stop when you reach the bottom of your thumb joint. You will be left with a hole in side seam designed for the thumb.
