hand aid gloves
I have very sore hands and my thumbs dont work particularly well at the moment
I have a pair of hand eze gloves but they cost £18.50 so want to keep them for best sewing not for around the house and such,also they do not support my thumbs.I wanted a pair to keep my hands warm whilst I was knitting and doing general work so I drew around my hand and thumb and used the idea of the handeze gloves and this is what I came up with.I used leotard lycra the stuff that is not so find you can see through it but quite firm.it stretches accross and up and down.I thought if I had to wear gloves why not make them pretty.I intend to put some crystals on them when I get a hot fix wand-hoping for a birthday pressie here.the stitching is not great ,I am trying to manipulate the needle whilst playing with my kittien twinkle.I used a back stitch,dont make the stitches too small as this will cause the fabric to bunch up,if you want to use a sewing machine /serger then you will need wider seam allowences to allow for feed dogs,pattern to follow

I love your gloves. My hands also could use support to stop them from hurting. I'm going to have to try this.
Those are neat. I have arthritis in my hands, and I've been wondering if those types of gloves help with that, or just with nerve/CT issues.
