floppy glove fix - tutorial

So, my gloves don't necessarily "fit like a glove".

The thumbs are so long and floppy I can't even wear the darn things without going nuts.

And no, I don't have freakishly short thumbs.  They just fit poorly.

And yes, it would be easy to buy another pair.  But I keep forgetting :D


What you'll need:

  • ill fitting gloves you're too forgetful to replace :)
  • needle and matching thread
  • pin
  • scissors
STEP ONE:  Turn your gloves inside out and place on hands

STEP TWO:  Insert pin just above the tip of your thumb or whatever fingers don't fit (careful not to poke yourself!)

STEP THREE:  Starting at one end, stitch a curve for the new top of your finger piece.

STEP FOUR:  Snip off the end, and turn your gloves right side out again.



Tada!  They fit!!!


I'll be linking up to these fab parties!
