During many types of work, hands must be protected. Thin latex gloves are suitable for some things, and for some things, good gloves. Everyone decides for himself what to choose. Pattern mittens will come in handy, so that, without running around the shops, get a comfortable pair to protect your hands.
Not only mittens!
Since childhood, many remember the fairy tale "Rukavichka". A man walked from the woods and lost his gauntlet, and the animals found her and began to live there. So, the man lost the mitten, not the mittens. And that is the whole difference. Children's and women's winter clothes that protect hands from the cold and wind are mittens, while men's, designed for work, are mittens. Their pattern is simple enough so that you can independently sew such products at home on a typewriter or manually. Even those with little experience in tailoring work will cope with this task. What is the difference in cut mittens and mittens? Only in size and materials. Pattern mittens workers, ak and elegant winter mittens, will be simple. You can build it yourself or find ready-made templates on the sites of needlewomen.
From theory to practice
A pattern of mittens is built according to the size of the hand. To do this, draw contours of the palm on a sheet of paper, noting the location of the thumb. Then make two increases: for loose fitting (1.5 cm) and allowance for seams (1 cm). Then circle the thumb on another piece of paper, marking the place where it connects with the palm of the hand. The exact same mark must be made on the first sheet, and then draw the brush in mirror image.
If you need not only a durable, but also a warm product, then the pattern of gloves from fur will be built in the same way. However, she has a few additional points. This will be described in more detail below.
Sheepskin - to business
The pattern of mittens of workers is built quite easily, but in its manufacture it is necessary to take into account the material from which they will be sewn. Often they are made from sheepskin. It is a good material, warm, soft and durable. And to make it comfortable for the hands in sheepskin mittens, their pattern should take into account the thickness of the fabric, which means that one and a half centimeters should be added along the contour of the template. However, mittens are sewn from sheepskin not only for work, but also for the winter, very warm, elegant. They can be embroidered or trimmed with fur. Such mittens are cut and sewn in a similar pattern, but then you should not do an increase in freedom of fitting to make them sit well on the hand.
If you need to work
Most often, the pattern of mittens is built very simply. It consists of only two parts: a palm and a separate thumb. But sometimes it is necessary to make a more accurate template so that the mittens fit the brush well or that it is convenient to work in them. The pattern of three-fingered mittens is built like workers, it only takes into account the index finger. Therefore, the template will have to be made a little wider. To mitten tightly fit your wrist, you must insert an elastic band into the drawstring. Another way is to sew on knitted cuffs.
On fur
The pattern of gloves from fur will not be any different from a simple template. If the material is thick and dense, then you need to add an allowance for a loose fit. If the fur is quite thin and soft, then it is only necessary to make an increase for the seam. It is necessary to cut such products so that on all parts the fibers lie in one direction.
There are several ways to sew mittens. A pattern of mittens from fur may be the next.
In several layers
Sometimes double mittens are needed, they are warmer, they do not get wet quickly and are quite dense. The pattern in this case, all the details will be the same. However, if the internal material is voluminous, then the template of the outer part should be slightly wider than the inner one. To do this, you can remove half a centimeter for a free fit with a cut of the inner part of the gloves or, conversely, add another half a centimeter along the contour for the outer part. It all depends on the specific situation. Here is such an elementary pattern to make very simple.
Sewing rules
So, the pattern of mittens from fur or from any other material is built, now they need to be cut and sewn. When cutting, you should consider the future use of mittens. If these are just working gloves, then they need to be made a little wider, although not too much, so that it is convenient to work in them. If necessary, an additional element is made from leather or special rubber on a part of the handheld. This is done so that the gloves do not slip on the surface during operation.
There are some nuances in sewing mittens from fur or sheepskin. Very often, this material is sewn on the front side. The seam turns out to be external and should be as neat as possible, threads should not stick out of it. The fur is covered with pile in one direction, even if it is inside the mittens. Fur or sheepskin lapels can be sewn separately, having cut an additional part, and you can immediately provide them on the main pattern.
Work gloves are often sewn from dense fabric, such as tarpaulins. The peculiarity of sewing this type of product is to remove the seams, otherwise they will rub the skin during operation. Therefore, you will have to use a sewing stitch or manually make a flat seam.
Mittens - a thing necessary in the household. They will protect your hands from frost, wind, moisture, as well as from bruises, cuts and aggressive substances during various operations. According to the proposed patterns, you can sew not only work gloves for men, but also kitchen gloves, as well as bags for New Year's children's surprises. In fact, mittens are a necessary thing in many situations, because they help us so often.
