When I wore my new gloves this week I was quite dismayed that they were about an inch too wide and let in a lot of cold air. The pattern said that they were meant for an adult hand. Apparently my hands are too small. I do wish pattern designers would put the across the palm measurement for sizing. So as you can see in the picture below I soaked them in hot water with a hot water rinse. Careful not to agitate them. I did not want them to felt. Then I put them in a very hot garage to dry.
If the easy method does not work, I will then have to steek them. I will put them on and put several marks where the seam will go. Then I will baste them on the sewing machine, making sure I have a very secure seam. Then it will be time for the surger. I think the first run through will be without the blade. I will cut them by hand. Wish me luck in this endeavor.
