Date: 1/16/12 9:16 PM Ok I decided I need to get rid of some leather old coat scraps of leather. I alread made a pair for my granddaughter. I want to make some summer Motorcyle riding gloves. I'm looking for some fabric i can use for lining.
Here's my granddaughters gloves Imade.


Here's a pair that i made out of cashmere. I made them for one of my clients I sew for.

Hope anyone can give me leads to where i can buy some.
I will be looking at hancocks and kelly j's.
On line would be great too.

Date: 1/18/12 12:50 PM That makes me think that the fabric used in silk long underwear might make a good choice I have some like these, and I think they would be great.
For long underwear, they can be a little delicate. A heavier weight might be good. For gloves, it would probably be better. They also have heavier weights, too. Since I'm not out mushing to Nome, I have the lightest weight. |
