Making gloves...

[LadyDracolich]

So I LOVE LOVE LOVE gloves... (Ok, gloves AND hats AND boots...) Anyway, I've decided to make some.  I figure that they can't be TOO hard..at least I hope not.  So, does anyone have any suggestions?  I plan on starting w/ some easy to sew (cheap) fabric and then on to the fabric I actually want.  Also, am considering making some opera length gloves as well.  (I've got the greatest pair of vintage kid leather opera gloves and so I'd like to make a similar pair eventually, w/ the wrist closure.)

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated!!

Yep I have been doing some research on this myself.  Here is what I have on the subject:

Those are great sites. I've thought about making my own gloves, ones that fit around my rings. I have longer fingers and I always buy guy's small gloves for winter buy I would love to have a pair of well fitting leather gloves for winter. I'm going to try. Thanks for giving me yet ANOTHER project to do.
