fiddling and tinkering gloves
Yesterday I planned a day of fiddling and tinkering with a my lovely friend Gracielle Uda. The goal was to just do fun stuff and be together and do some sewing. We had mutually agreed that everything we did was allowed to fail. There was no pressure to make anything substantial or anything "finished". So it was just a day of chatting, eating cookies, drinking tea and just doing some nice sewing together. We used all the stuff I had laying around, old lace, all kinds of fabric, beads, strings and weird things. Against all odds we decided to do a little project, we wanted to make fingerless gloves. We started with some drawings of the look we wanted and ended up choosing some nice fabric and starting to cut, sew and think about how to make them (We both never made anything glove-like). It became a very nice afternoon and the more we worked on the gloves the more excited we became, they started to look like something nice, I even stiched my label in for fun. At the end of the day we managed to both make a pair of gloves that fitted and which we wanted to wear! Below some pictures of mine, hers she took with her before I could take a photo (so maybe next time), they where also beautiful with lovely blue lace. We both where suprised of what a day of fiddling and tinkering can have as a result! We both agreed we are going to do this more often!
I decided to make a pair of gloves with a draw string at the bottom for a cropping effect.
Above the end result, I left the drawstring extra long so I could wrap it around for a more nonchalant look.
I beaded the end of the strings with beads I found in my cubboards
Ik heb de uiteinde van de touwtjes van kralen voorzien die ik vond ik een van m'n lades.
I had some left over mother of pearl buttons in different sizes that looked lovely on the top
Ik had nog een paar parelmoeren knopen over in verschillende maten die prachtig aan de bovenkant stonden.
The area of the thumb we decided to finish with a simple buttenhole-like stitch.
Het gebied waar de duim zit besloten we af te werken met een soort knoopsgat-achtige steek.
