I made these gloves to match my 1950s summer dress and they came out just like I wanted them!

Materials

Cotton

Step 1 — Cut

1

Print out the pattern on an A4 paper and cut out the pieces.Fold your fabric in half and pin the pattern piecesonto the faric (make sure that the main piece of the glove is against a folded edge). Add about 0,5 cm of seamallowance and cut out the pieces. Now you have two mirrored parts of each pattern piece. Then cut out a holein each main glove piece where your thumb should be (of course this should only be on the palm side of theglove, even if that doesn’t show in the pattern). I recommend making a prototype glove in muslin first to beable to improve the fit.

Step 2 — Sew

2

Pin the A, B and C parts to the main piece and sew them together. This is hard but possible to do on themachine.

Step 3 — Sew

Pin the back side of the glove to the gussets and the palm side and sew from the top of the index finger to thewrist continuosly.

Step 4 — Add the thumb

Sew the sides of the thumb together and turn right side out. Then put it through the hole in the palm om theglove (just like you do when you attatch a sleeve to a bodice) and then pin and sew.

Step 5 — Tadaa!

Done! You’ve made your very own gloves! (I also added cuffs to mine.)
