Step by step instructions to turn a pair of plain old gloves into pretty new embroidered ones.

Instructions

  1. Small 104175 2f2014 09 01 212715 draw%2bdesign%2bon

    Draw the basics of your design on with the fabric marker pen or chalk. Make up your own design or use mine if you prefer. Unfortunately my pen is purple so it didn't show up especially well on the red gloves, you can just about make it out!

  2. Small 104175 2f2014 09 01 212808 backstitch

    Cut a length of embroidery thread and separate the 6 strands into 2 lots of 3. Tie a knot at one end and start embroidering your design. I used Backstitch:
