I'm in no danger of being mistaken for a glover.

The next event I'll be attending is a Regency outing to the Fort Worth Symphony's Beethoven concert.  It's in about a week.  And since it wouldn't feel like a real event if I didn't heap tons of work on myself at the last minute, I figured I'd better make myself a pair of fancy evening gloves

Ooo, I love how they're looking so far! The embroidery is such a nice touch. ^^ I was inspired when you first mentioned making gloves, and I bought some suedecloth to make my own, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. ^^; We'll see if they actually get made before the event!

Thank you! Good luck with yours! They always seem to take longer to make than I think they will...

Amazing!

Thank you!

I've made gloves by hand - wouldn't contemplate machine, so well done. I must try embroidery next time, although not as beautiful as yours, I'm sure!

Honestly, I think they'd turn out better and be less hassle by hand. If I were better at time management and working well in advance of a due date, I would have done these by hand. The layers (especially the finger insets) tend to slip under the presser foot, and it's impossible to see that until you've sewn it all. I've just got a few hand repairs to do this time, which I'm OK with.

So pretty! I admire your bravery getting into glove-making. I need to find myself a pair one of these days.

Thank you! Sewing them myself has forced me to appreciate the skill that real glovers have.
