 Fabric Estimates
Fabric estimates are based on 44-inch wide fabric and will need
to be slightly adjusted to fit the size you intend on sewing. When
in doubt, purchase more fabric than you think you will need

Fabric Estimates
0.5 yards of fabric
Notion Estimates
OPTIONAL
0.25 yards of EVA foam

Fabric Recommendations: Faux leather, suede, broadcloth, and

other non-stretch fabrics

Terms To Know
Basting Stitch
A long length straight stitch used to temporarily hold layers
together until a final stitch is sewn. A basting stitch removes
easily after sewing is complete.
 How to Print
To get started on your project, pick your size based on the size chart
above and print out that specific size using the patterns provided.
Patterns are split into Letter and A4 paper types, so be sure to
choose which one your printer uses.

Once printed, trim along the black edges and tape each piece of
paper together. Pages are individually labelled A,B,C,D as well as
numbered to help with assembly.

After you tape all pages together you can get to cutting them out,
laying them on your fabric, and cutting out your fabric pieces. Each
pattern piece has 5/8 inch seam allowance built in and will be sewn
with that seam allowance unless otherwise stated.

Disclaimers
The seams you are sewing are quite small and precise and
fabrics can shift around a lot during sewing. Due to this, I would
recommend sewing basting stitches before you sew your final
stitches. Hand-basting the seams may prove beneficial as you
get into some of the curves and the small fingers.
For extra stability and structure in your gloves, Cut out an extra
piece of your pattern (minus seam allowance) in interfacing or
EVA foam, This will help them stand on their own and create a
more “cartoony” look.
Follow steps 1-15 for each type of glove (standard, flared, and
long)
Follow the designated sections (flared cuff and standard cuff) for
the respective glove types.
 1. Fold your thumb pattern right sides facing along the red dotted
line, matching up each side of the thumb. Sew in place along the
black lines of your pattern and not the gray seam allowance
guides. The seam allowance is there to give you some ease as
you sew and will be trimmed down later.

2. Trim down the seam allowance to reduce bulk and turn your
thumbpiece right sides out.

3. Pin your thumb with the right sides facing into the hole of the
glove’s hand. Take your time as you sew the thumb in, ensuring you
sew both layers and nothing shifts as you sew (This is one of the
many steps where you may benefit from a basting stitch before
sewing properly)

4. Begin your glove finger assembly by basting and then sewing

your first gusset in place between the pointer and middle finger.
Match notches and sew along the black lines of your pattern.
 5. I recommend starting on the side of the glove with the thumb
hole and fully sewing in each gusset on that side of the glove before
sewing them to the other (outer) side of the glove.

6. Continue assembly by basting and sewing in your second gusset

connecting the middle finger to the ring finger.

7. Finally, repeat this baste and sew process for the third gusset
connecting the ring and pinky finger.

8. Fold your glove in half, right sides facing, along the dotted red
line. Matching up each gusseted finger to its non-gusseted mirror.

9. You will notice that the gussets don’t match up at the top of each
finger and there is a bit of space where you will sew the fingers
directly to each other as opposed to the gusset. This is normal and
allows for the least amount of bulk at the fingertips for a tailored,
professional look.
 10. I highly recommend basting together your glove at this stage,
matching up each finger, the gussets, and the notches to sew up the
fingers and sides of your glove. Some seams get very small here, so
basting it by hand ensures fewer mistakes in the further sewing
process.

11. Once your gloves are sewn together and still inside out, try on your
glove and check the fit. You may need to do some tailoring around
the fingers for the most comfortable fit for your unique hands.

12. Once you’re happy with the fit you can now trim down the seam
allowance of your gloves to reduce bulk. Trim notches into the
curves of the seam allowance to allow for the most movement, but
be sure you do not trim any of the stitching.

13. Turn your gloves right sides out and test the fit once more.
14. If you are adding a cuff, move to the instruction section for your
specific cuff. If you are making a long glove or a short glove with no
cuff we will be finishing off the glove’s wrist with a rolled hem.

15. Fold the raw edge of the fabric at the wrist towards the wrong
side once, lining up the raw edge with the seam allowance line, and
then folding once more. Pin in place and then sew ¼ inch from the
edge.

Standard Cuff
1. Begin on the standard cuff by folding it in half widthwise,
matching up the right sides of the short edges.

2. Sew these short edges together and turn the loop you’ve now
created right sides out.
3. Fold your loop in half along the red dotted line with the right sides
facing outwards and match up the bottom edges. Use a long
basting stitch on the raw bottom edge to temporarily secure them
together.

4. Pin this basted bottom edge along the raw edge of the glove’s
wrist, right sides facing, and sew in place. Turn the right sides out
and enjoy your new glove cuff.

Flared Cuff
1. Begin on the flared cuff by folding it in half widthwise, matching
up the right sides of the short edges.

2. Sew these short edges together and turn the loop you’ve now
created right sides out. Repeat with your lining fabric for the inner
cuff
3. Place your outer and inner cuffs right sides facing and sew along
the top edge. Turn the right sides out and press flat.

4. Match up the bottom edges. Use a long basting stitch on the raw
bottom edge to temporarily secure them together

5. Pin this basted bottom edge along the raw edge of the glove’s
wrist, right sides facing, and sew in place. Turn the right sides out
and enjoy your new glove cuff.
