Gloves are different. But they all have two goals - to protect their hands and carry beauty. You can protect your hands from the cold, sun, electricity during certain types of work, from detergents during cleaning. Then, probably, it doesn’t matter at all how they look, if only they could cope with the protective function assigned to them. But those gloves that are not designed for work must necessarily be beautiful. A pattern of gloves, so that you can make them yourself and according to individual size, will help to get a high-quality wardrobe accessory.
Sew for good and for joy
The beauty of gloves is not only a style, conformity to fashion. They can also be beautiful with their special purpose, for example, a glove doll, the pattern of which is extremely simple, but allows you to create an amazing toy. Its feature is that almost every finger becomes a part of a fairy-tale character. Typically, the head is attached to the index finger, the middle and thumb become hands-paws, the ring and little fingers most often do not participate in the game, but can create additional volume, for example, if the toy is a thick bear bear. It is not too difficult to sew, it is such a glove doll with its own hands. Patterns for her can be divided into two parts - the head of the toy and the glove itself. The head for such fun can be "borrowed" from a toy made of platmas or a rubber "tweeter". But the pattern can be done like this:
- On the sheet of thick paper, put the right hand of the one who will play with the glove toy, placing the thumb and forefinger separately, and connecting the middle, ring and little fingers together.
- Circle the outline, it will turn out three-fingered.
- In the same way, circle the left hand along the same contour, aligning the middle finger of both hands.
- Make the outline of your index finger a little wider so that then, during the process of sewing the glove, you could insert a cardboard or plastic stop tube attached to the toy’s head. However, if the fabric for the glove is taken thick enough, for example, faux fur or thick drap, then this step can be omitted.
- Merge the two contours by drawing common lines.
- Add a centimeter to freedom of fit, as the dressmakers say, again circle the contour of the glove and cut out the pattern.
From the fabric, you can immediately cut two halves of the glove, folding it with its face inward. The body can be stitched together with an overcast seam over the edge - the seam will reliably connect the parts and prevent the fabric from crumbling.
The selected head is attached to the glove with glue and thread with a needle. If plastic or rubber can be pierced with a thick needle or awl, then the head can be sewn, but still for reliability, smear it with glue. However, you can immediately draw on the pattern the contours of the head of the toy and cut it all together to sew.
Apply the necessary decor to the character. The toy glove is ready.
For autumn cool and joyful days
Nevertheless, a glove in the form of a toy is an accessory for games with children, which will be mainly interested in parents and kindergarten teachers. The vast majority of people need gloves to protect their hands from the cold. A pattern of gloves that will help to create exactly what is needed for the weather is much more complicated than a pattern of toys. An accessory that protects your hands from the cold should not only be beautiful, but also comfortable, therefore designing it is a painstaking task, each finger should feel comfortable, and if you can still equip four fingers somehow by drawing the outline of the hand, then for the thumb need a separate trim part. The pattern of gloves made of leather will be exactly the same as for gloves made of suitable fabric. The difference will be in tailoring. It’s easier not to build a pattern, but to find a suitable palm in size.
Individual glove pattern
It’s easy to sew gloves with your own hands. Patterns - this is the main problem. Most often, if they catch the eye, then the standard and a fairly large size. But it’s better if you sew a convenient accessory with your own hands, so that the pattern of gloves is ideal for your own hands. Therefore, you should do this:
- Fold a piece of paper in half so that a palm fits on one side of it.
- Put your hand on the sheet so that the fold of the sheet falls on the outer edge of the index finger.
- Clasp four fingers, and put the big one aside. Gently drawing a pencil perpendicular to the sheet, circle the palm.
- Mark the length of the fingers with a pencil.
- Draw the outline of a palm with fingers.
- Transfer the resulting pattern to the second half of the sheet is strictly symmetrical (you can use the student method - through glass).
- Divide the outline of the index finger exactly in half, drawing a line down.
- Place your palm on the pattern, slightly turning it to the side and holding your thumb, mark the two points of intersection of the line on the pattern and thumb as shown in the figure below.
- Copy points symmetrically about the axis.
- From the traced points, construct an oval - a hole for the thumb.
As shown in the figure below, build a tuck to the freedom of fitting the thumb. The shading indicates the place to be cut.
Thumb pattern
In order for the glove pattern to be extremely comfortable, it is necessary to correctly build the pattern for the thumb. It is done like this:
- A sheet of paper folds in half again.
- The thumb should be attached to the sheet and outline its contour to those points along which the palm pattern was built.
- Move the outline of the finger to the symmetrical side.
- Expand the sheet and draw the pattern of the thumb, given that the seam will pass along the inner rather than the outer side.
Every finger in the house
In principle, the pattern is ready if there is a desire to sew mittens. But in order to get a high-quality pattern of gloves, each finger should be placed in a separate "house". To do this, you need to build patterns. Circle each finger along the contour, alternately on one and the other side, applying it on the edge of the table with the inside to the sheet. Be sure to note the lower connection points of the finger and palm from the back and from the palm, as the bottom line of each pattern will be inclined, due to the anatomy. Do not forget to indicate on each pattern which finger and which should be connected so as not to get confused during the assembly process.
The cullies are so different
So, the glove pattern is ready. It remains to come up with and carve out cuffs. They can be completely different. So, the pattern of men's gloves implies not too long cuffs of a straight form. But women's gloves can have not only cuffs that they like, but also absolutely any length. It is clear that smart guipure gloves can be almost shoulder length. Then the pattern of gloves is supplemented by a pattern of hands to the required length. When all the details are tailored, you can stitch this accessory.
Mittens - fingerless gloves
Mitts are most often used by those who, for some reason, are not too comfortable wearing gloves, and their fingers should be "free". Or they may be the summer version of this accessory. And mittens like athletes, cyclists, for example. The pattern of fingerless gloves is built on the same principle as regular gloves. The only thing is that the length of the fingers depends on the desire of the future owner. In the mittens, the pattern of the thumb is important, while other fingers can do without special drawing of each detail. If the fingers on the glove are not needed at all, then an interesting accessory is sewn, which has only a correctly designed hole for the thumb. Further the pattern of gloves without fingers is simply cut off at the level of the beginning of the first phalanx of the fingers.
For all occasions
A well-designed pattern of gloves for a specific hand will allow you to sew any protection and beauty for your hands - summer openwork, winter fur, smart brocade, sports made of elastane - gloves will become a necessary accessory, and, ideally sitting in the palm of your hand. If you carefully design your own gloves, then stitching and wearing them will be just a pleasure.
