Can you make the gloves by hand?
Yes, you don’t need a sewing machine to make your own gloves. In fact, it’s a fun way to do it!
If you do use a sewing machine, it’s best to be experienced, as it requires precision.
Can you easily stitch a 0.2 cm seam allowance?
Most sewing machine feet have a 0.2 cm guide. Align the edge of the fabric with this guide.
If your machine doesn’t have a guide, you can adjust the needle position.
What stitch do you use when hand-sewing?
Gebruik hiervoor de stiksteek.
De steekjes zijn dan ongeveer 0.2cm lang.
Use a running stitch, with stitches about 0.2 cm long.
A handy tool is a piece of cardboard, where you mark a line every 0.2 cm, which you can slide over your thumb to guide your stitching.
How do you easily distinguish between different pattern pieces?
While cutting out the pattern pieces, attach a colored dot to the wrong side of the fabric and write the number of the pattern piece. For the connecting pieces, it’s best to put a dot at each point and write the seam number on it (see pattern).
Are some gloves easier than others?
Yes, the difficulty level is shown with hand icons.
Can I fold the fabric double to cut it?
Because precision is required, it’s not recommended to fold the fabric.
A good tip is to print out the pattern pieces twice and cut them from paper. Write "LEFT" and "RIGHT" on the paper pieces, ensuring the printed side is facing down on one side.
Can I replace the notches with thread markers?
Yes, but a small snip/notch (no larger than 0.1 cm) can also work and is faster.
