Gloves... a slightly different take

[Jimah]

Hiya... I had all sorts of issues with padding out the grey pads on the gloves (not least of all was my sewing machine died, then I managed to stitch the glove together.)

 

So. I tried something slightly different. I wanted to get the padded effect of the grey, but wanted to avoid stitching if possible for those sections. So I placed the grey pads, then overlapped them with slightly smaller grey sections to create the impression of height.

 

The old adage of standing to close to a problem to see the solution applies, so I am keen to get any feedback on whether these pass muster or whether I need to go back to the drawing board for the pads.

 

I have included the link to my Flickr wip page... apologies as I had issues embedding the photo here from Flickr directly.

Thanks in advance for any tips, suggestions or just general feedback.

Im not an expert but I think they look good. Pretty much the same as mine. I was able to get a little foam under my pad before I sewed it down, but i think you achieved the look.
