Cheeky Clean Gloves tutorial


UPDATE:
Although, you still can, I would advice against sewing the lace onto the glove. Just Plain ol' Hot Glue works great. and a stitch or two (or 3 or 4) around the glove to make sure it is anchored is what I recomend.
Sewing on ric-rac and various accessories though is pretty essential. Sew on accessories, then hot glue. Then buttons.
This is what happens when you sew them on all the way around. It perferates right around the top a nice little line so when you pull the gloves on...wa, la! pops right off. like tearing off a coupon. not good.

So on with the tutorial....


My friend made me some cute gloves for my birthday. I LOVE them.

So I thought I would return the favor for a few of my friends.
There is so much creativity you can add to these things. Take the instructions and make them your own.
Get grazy trim and go wild. Yourself and friends will love them!

Materials:
MEDIUM sized Mr Clean gloves
(4 come in a packet! $1.88 at Walmart!)
22 inches of the white lace trim )11 inches for each glove)
21 inches of ric-rack (10-10.5 inches for each glove)

Start by cutting the fabric to size.
Pin on.

SEW
-there are various ways that you can sew on and piece the White lace, if you don't want an open seam, you can sew it closed then pin on.

Add accessories
Fowlers, roses, buttons, anything! I like it because it fovers up the seams.
I did them all the same. I know I know, so boring but I really didn't have much time to make these. So I just got bulk items (cheaper) and got them all done fast.
