floppy glove fix – tutorial
Some affiliate links are used at no additional cost to you. Thank you for supporting my blog! For more information, visit my Disclosure.
So, my gloves don’t necessarily “fit like a glove”.
The thumbs are so long and floppy I can’t even wear the darn things without going nuts.
And no, I don’t have freakishly short thumbs. They just fit poorly.
And yes, it would be easy to buy another pair. But I keep forgetting 😀
What you’ll need:
-
ill fitting gloves you’re too forgetful to replace 🙂
-
needle and matching thread
-
pin
-
scissors
STEP ONE: Turn your gloves inside out and place on hands
STEP TWO: Insert pin just above the tip of your thumb or whatever fingers don’t fit (careful not to poke yourself!)
STEP THREE: Starting at one end, stitch a curve for the new top of your finger piece.
STEP FOUR: Snip off the end, and turn your gloves right side out again.
Tada! They fit!!!

NewestYou're one smart lady! Will you fix mine?
Brilliant! I need to do this to my son's gloves (only to every finger!)
What a great simple solution! This would work great for my kids' gloves. They never seem to fit right. Thanks for sharing!
Clever! I totally need to do this on a few pairs of gloves.

i come to visit you blog
it nice.
Gloves can be fixed! What people do most of the time is to replace their gloves if it doesn’t fit. It’s a really smart thing to know whether a glove can be fixed, especially if it is your favorite glove and it no longer fits.
