Warm your hands as they warm your heart :D

As promised.. Here I am with the another of my LAST NIGHT CREATIONS

So, as I used half of my old pillow cover to complete MY UGANDA MAP PILLOW

I still have the rest of the cover

So, I decided to turn

This

into

This

They are actually easier than I thought

Because I cheated.. Hahaha

Instead of searching the internet for a pattern
I ran in to my messy dressing room to find a pair of fingerless gloves

 So you only need 

1. A pair of fingerless gloves, scissors and importantly 
2. A piece of *FELT like fabric large enough for you to make a pair of fingerless gloves
3. Threads and needle

*Just in case you don't know what FELT is..

This is FELT

Felt is a very convenient material for most of craft lovers

because Felt is tough, dense and require no sewing at all!!

the material gets pressed to form a flat piece

Unlike woven fabric that will ended up thready and fall apart

So. NO SEWING!!!

Instructions

1. Tracing is Cheating but I don't care haha, so trace away. 
2. My I-use-to-be-a-pillow-cover has 2 embroideries on it (isn't it perfect?). one glove need 7" of fabric. I Make sure that the middle of the embroidery is at the center of the fabric. To have the embroidery sit perfectly on the back of my hand.
3. Sew the two sides together.
4. You also need a separate piece of fabric for your thumb to go in
   
5. Trace again to see where your thumb will be. Mark it. Make a cut as long as you marked.
6. I cut the fabric into a strip that is wide enough to cover my thumb and of course you need 2
7. Sew the ends closed to make a ring like the last picture
8. Then flip the inside out to sew the thumb ring to the hole that you cut earlier.
9. Trim and cut the excess out. Then. You're DONE!!!!

 !!TADA!!

Here we are
One RUBBISH down
Isn't it awesome when you can warm your hands
as your recycling projects warms your heart?
