Handmade leather fingerless gloves. DIY leather gloves (Diy)

Gloves are different. But they all have two goals - to protect the hands and bring beauty. You can protect your hands from cold, sun, electricity during certain types of work, from detergents during cleaning. Then, probably, it doesn’t matter at all what they look like, as long as they cope with the protective function assigned to them with high quality. But those gloves that are not designed for work must be beautiful. A pattern of gloves so that you can make them yourself and to an individual size will help you get a quality wardrobe accessory.

Sew for good and for joy

The beauty of gloves is not only style, fashion. They can also be beautiful for their special purpose, for example, a glove doll, the pattern of which is extremely simple, but allows you to create an amazing toy. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that almost every finger of the hand becomes part of a fairy-tale character. Usually, 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 fat bear-bear. It is not too difficult to sew, such a do-it-yourself glove doll. 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 plastic toy or a rubber "tweeter". Here's how you can make a pattern:

• Put the right hand of the person who will play with the glove toy on a sheet of thick paper, placing the thumb and forefinger separately, and connecting the middle, ring and little fingers together.
• Circle the outline, it will turn out to be three-fingered.
• In the same way, circle the left hand along the same contour, aligning the middle finger of both hands.
• Make the contour of the index finger a little wider, so that later, in the process of sewing a glove, you can insert a cardboard or plastic tube-stop attached to the head of the toy. However, if the fabric for the glove is taken thick enough, for example, faux fur or thick drape, then this stage can be omitted.
• Merge two paths by drawing common lines.
• Add a centimeter to the freedom of fitting, as the dressmakers say, circle the contour of the glove again and cut out the pattern.

From the fabric, you can immediately cut out two halves of the glove, folding it with the front side inward. You can sew the body with an overcast seam over the edge - the seam will securely connect the parts and prevent the fabric from fraying.

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 on, but still smeared with glue for reliability. However, you can immediately draw the contours of the head of the toy on the pattern and cut it out as a whole to sew.

Apply the necessary decor to the body glove, corresponding to the character. The toy glove is ready.

For autumn coolness and joyful days

But still, a glove in the form of a toy is an accessory for playing with children, which will be of interest mainly to parents and kindergarten teachers. The vast majority of people need gloves to protect their hands from the cold. A pattern of gloves, which will help you create exactly what you need for the weather, is much more difficult to build than a pattern of a toy. An accessory that protects hands from the cold should be not only beautiful, but also comfortable, so designing it is a painstaking task, each finger should feel comfortable, and if four fingers can still be somehow arranged by sketching the contour of the hand, then for the thumb need a separate trim piece. The pattern for leather gloves will be exactly the same as for gloves made from a suitable fabric. The difference will be in tailoring. It’s easier not to build a pattern, but to find a suitable palm size.

Individual pattern of gloves

It is easy to sew gloves with your own hands. Patterns are the main problem. Most often, if they catch the eye, then they are standard and of a fairly large size. But it is better if you already sew a convenient accessory with your own hands, so that the pattern of gloves is ideal for your own palms. Therefore, you should do this:

• Fold a sheet of paper in half so that the palm fits on one side.
• Place your hand on the sheet so that the fold of the sheet falls on the outer edge of the index finger.
• Close four fingers, and set aside the big one. Gently drawing a pencil perpendicular to the sheet, circle the palm.
• Mark the length of the fingers by putting dots with a pencil.
• Draw the outline of the palm with fingers.
• Transfer the resulting drawing to the second half of the sheet strictly symmetrically (you can use the student method - through glass).
• Divide the contour of the index finger exactly in half, drawing a line down.

• Place your hand on the pattern, slightly turning it to the side and leaving your thumb, mark two points of intersection of the line on the pattern and the thumb as shown in the figure below.

• The points are copied symmetrically about the axis.
• Using the traced points, build an oval - a hole for the thumb.

As shown in the picture below, build a tuck to loosen the fit of the thumb. Hatching indicates the place that will need to be cut.

Thumb pattern

In order for the pattern of gloves to be extremely comfortable, it is necessary to correctly build a pattern for the thumb. It is done like this:

• The sheet of paper is folded in half again.
• The thumb must be attached to the sheet and outline its contour to the points along which the palm pattern was drawn.
• Transfer the contour of the finger to the symmetrical side.
• Expand the sheet and draw a pattern of the thumb, given that the seam will run along the inside, not the outside.

Each finger is 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 from one side and the other, applying it on the edge of the table with the inner side to the sheet. Be sure to mark the lower points of the connection between the finger and the palm on the back and on the side of the palm, since the bottom line of each pattern will be sloping, due to anatomy. Do not forget to indicate on each pattern which finger and which one should be connected, so as not to get confused during the assembly process.

Cuffs are so different

So, the pattern of gloves is ready. It remains to invent and cut out the cuffs. They can be completely different. So, the pattern of men's gloves implies not too long cuffs of a straight shape. But women's gloves can have not only cuffs that you like, but absolutely any length. It is clear that elegant guipure gloves can be almost shoulder-length. Then the pattern of gloves is complemented by a pattern of the hand to the desired length. When all the details are tailored, you can sew this accessory.

Mitts - fingerless gloves

Mitts are most often used by those who, for some reason, are not very comfortable in gloves, and the fingers should be "free". Or they can be a summer version of this accessory. And mittens are also loved by 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 mitts, the pattern of the thumb is important, while other fingers can do without much drawing of every detail. If the fingers on the glove are not needed at all, then an interesting accessory is sewn, which has only a properly 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, elegant brocade, sports made of elastane - gloves will become a necessary accessory, moreover, ideally sitting in the palm of your hand. If you carefully design your own gloves, then both sewing and wearing them will be a pleasure.

From an old suede jacket or leather trousers that have lost their appearance, you can sew excellent gloves - stylish, soft and comfortable. No one else will definitely have such a pair.

Before you start working on leather, it's best to make a test glove out of cotton.

You will need:

Soft skin
pattern paper
skin tone thread
scissors
pencil
sewing machine

Take a sheet of paper and fold it in half. Place your hand on the folded edge of the paper so that your thumb stays out of the paper. Leave space between your index finger and the edge of the paper. Slightly spread your fingers and circle your hand, leaving 3 mm above the fingertips and on the side of the little finger. When drawing between the fingers, start at the little finger and spread your fingers just to make dots in the tightest places. It is important that the lines between the fingers are parallel.

Mark with points B and C where the thumb meets the hand. Draw a vertical line from A (this is the point at the top of the gap between the index and middle fingers) and horizontal lines from B and C. Draw an oval for the thumb hole.

Cut out the pattern.

To make a gusset pattern, place your finger on the edge of the paper and circle each (except the large one) with a pencil and cut it out.

Idea: Use threads in contrasting colors to highlight the skin color of the gloves. For decoration, use small bows, embroidery or frill

Connect the corresponding fingers with the gussets: index finger with the middle finger, middle finger with the ring finger, ring finger with the little finger. Circle around each pair of fingers. Label each finger.

Advice: for sewing gloves, choose thin and smooth leather. It should be elastic, but only in one direction - along the width of the glove, otherwise it will stretch a lot when worn.

Before cutting, draw a curve at the bottom of each insert. Cut out patterns along this curve. Your three gussets will look something like this.

Make a pattern for the thumb. Circle around your finger. At the middle point of the gap, draw a "wing/sash" to the right, then draw a pattern. At this stage, you only draw half of the pattern. At the tip of your thumb, add some seam space as the thumb does not have a gusset. Fold the paper in half and draw the outline of half of the pattern you just drew.

Do a test run first. Before you start working on the leather, it's best to make a test glove out of cotton or muslin to make sure the pattern is correct. Use thread in a contrasting color so you can easily see where you are sewing and where you need to adjust the pattern. Once you get the pattern right, you can make as many leather gloves as you want without a test piece.

Pin the pattern to the back of the leather, placing the longest side of each gusset towards the back of the hand (where there is no thumb hole). Sew with a 3mm indent from the edge. If you need to adjust the shape of the fingers, do it now.

Turn out and try on.

Fold each part of the thumb piece (right sides together) in half lengthwise and sew. Leave the bottom open. Trim the corner so that it turns right side out. Turn the thumb piece right side out.

Pin the right sides to the glove, aligning the seam of the thumb piece with the seam of the index finger. Try on the glove to make sure it fits. Adjust if necessary. The "wings" of the thumb piece may need to be trimmed to fit well. Pin again and try on. When all is well, sew the thumb piece onto the glove.

Sew the sides and hem the bottom of the gloves.

Leather gloves can be an expensive accessory, but if you're good at sewing, you can save some money and make your own. Creating your own pattern will ensure that the gloves fit perfectly on your hands.

Steps

Part 1

Trace the outlines of your hand on paper. Place your non-dominant hand evenly on a piece of paper, keeping your fingers closed. In this case, your thumb should deviate from the palm at a natural angle for it. Outline the entire arm, starting on one side of the wrist and ending on the other side.

• The connection point of the thumb and forefinger should be in the middle of the sheet of paper.
• After outlining the contours of the hand, you need to put points at the base of the gaps between the fingers. To do this, alternately spread your fingers and put a small dot at the bottom in the center between the fingers.
• Pass a ruler between your fingers. Draw straight lines from the dots to the top of the fingers.
• Remove the ruler and check that all lines are parallel.
• Add 5 cm of extra length to the pattern. Draw on the outer side of the hand (opposite the location of the thumb) from the wrist a line slightly receding to the side.
• At this stage, you should have a clear outline of the hand. However, do not cut out the pattern yet.

1. Make a second pattern. Fold a piece of paper in half along the outer edge of your index finger. Cut out the outlines of the hand on two layers of paper at once, leaving the fold intact.

   • Please note that at this stage you will lose the section of the pattern with the thumb.
   • After cutting out the contours of the hand, also cut the slits between the fingers. The slits on the palm of the pattern should be 6 mm shorter than on the pattern on the outside of the gloves.

2. Make a hole for your thumb. Unfold the fold connecting the two patterns and mark the location of the thumb joint. You will need to draw and cut out an oval for the thumb on the second pattern.

   • Mark the point of the base of the thumb, the point of the membrane between the thumb and forefinger, and the point of the joint of the thumb. Position the fourth point symmetrically to the third.
   • Draw an oval connecting all four available points.
   • At the top of the oval, draw an inverted triangle. The lower peak should reach strictly to the middle of the oval.
   • Cut out the oval except for the triangular part.

3. Draw the outline of the thumb. Fold a sheet of paper in half and insert your thumb inward along the fold line. The fold should run parallel to the outside of the index finger and wrist. Outline the outer contours of the thumb.

   • After sketching the thumb, unfold the sheet and draw the same mirror image on the other side of the fold line.
   • Cut out the thumb pattern and attach it to the oval hole in the palm of the pattern. Both parts should roughly match. Otherwise, you will need to redo the thumb pattern to fit the thumb hole better.

4. Make patterns for the middle parts of the fingers. They will be sewn between the fingers.

   • Fold a piece of paper in half and place it between the index and middle fingers of your non-dominant hand. The place of the fold should be located at the very bottom between the fingers.
   • Outline the outlines of the index finger and add longer outlines of the middle finger.
   • Cut out the pattern.
   • Repeat the process two more times, making medium details for the gaps between the middle and ring fingers, and also between the ring finger and little finger.

   Part 2

   Skin preparation

   1. Find the right skin type. It is easiest to work with thin smooth skin of uniform grain.

   2. Check skin elasticity. Pull the skin to check its extensibility. If, after your stretching, the skin immediately returns to its original shape, then no further preparations are required. If the skin starts to sag a little or is stretching too much, then you need to tighten it up to control the stretch.

      • Extensibility itself is a good property, but with an excessive amount of it and without correcting this fact, gloves can become too big for you after a few wears.

   3. Moisturize the skin and stretch it. Wet the skin, and then stretch it along the lobar to the limit. Let dry.

      • After drying, wet the skin again and stretch it laterally. This time, do not stretch it to the very limit. Let dry.

   4. Cut out the details. Pin the patterns to the prepared skin, cut out the details with sharp scissors along the contours of the patterns. Don't forget to cut a hole for your thumb and middle fingers.

      • The share direction of the skin should be parallel to the fingers. The skin stretches more in the transverse direction, and you need to take advantage of this property so that when you bend your fingers, the leather of the gloves stretches.
      • The leather doesn't flake, so you don't need to overcast it and use anti-fraying agents.
      • Cut out all patterns in duplicate so you can make two identical gloves. Since the outer contours of the parts of the gloves are the same, you don’t have to worry about turning the patterns into a mirror image when cutting. The main thing is to subsequently correctly perform all the necessary cuts on the details for the corresponding hands.

   Part 3

   Sewing gloves

   1. Sew the side seam of the thumb. Fold the thumb piece in half and sew the side up to the top. The suture should come from the end point of the fold of the membrane.

      • If you want the seams not to be visible, then they must be done from the wrong side, folding the parts face inward, and subsequently turning them out.
      • Alternatively, you can lay all the seams from the face. In this case, when sewing, folds the parts with the right side out.
      • Both hidden and open seams are acceptable when sewing from leather, so it's just a matter of personal taste and sense of style.

   2. Pin and sew on the thumb piece. Insert the bottom edge of the thumb piece into the holes on the palm of the hand. Peel off the cuts and then sew them together.

      • The part of the finger inserted into the hole must be turned up.
      • The edges of the finger part and the hole for it should match well enough.
      • You can sew a part of the thumb with a hole by aligning the front sides of both parts, or you can put the wrong side of the hole on the front side of the thumb. Both are acceptable and depend only on your preferences.

   3. Insert the first middle part of the fingers into the gap between the fingers. You need to connect it to both the outside of the glove and the palm side of the glove. Insert the piece and sew the seams.

      • First, attach the middle piece to the palm side of the glove. After completing the appropriate seam, attach the piece to the outside of the glove.
      • Sew from the tip of your index finger down and then up again to the tip of your middle finger.
      • When sewing the middle piece to the outside of the glove, start the seam at the tip of the middle finger, move down and then up to the tip of the index finger.

   4. Repeat the procedure with the two remaining middle parts of the fingers. After sewing the first middle piece between the middle and index fingers, move on to the pieces between the middle and ring fingers, and between the ring finger and little finger. The sewing technique is completely identical to that indicated above.

      • Next, sew the middle piece between the middle and ring fingers. Next, sew the middle piece between the ring finger and little finger.
      • Work in the same way, sew the part first to the palm side of the glove, and then to the outside.

   5. Sew the side seam of the glove. If necessary, chop off the edges so that they lie flat. Sew up any holes left around the fingers on the glove.

      • The only hole left on the glove after this step should be the entry hole for the hand.
      • If you want to hide the side seam of the glove, be sure to align the edges of the glove with the right sides inward before doing it. After completing the seam, turn the glove right side out. If you want to make the side seam visible, leave the wrong side of the glove inside when sewing.

      Try on gloves. They are ready and ready to wear.
