Creating a leather glove pattern part 1: The trank

This is the first of three videos about creating a leather pattern for a pair of gloves. I have divided the process into three parts and I describe in detail how I create my glove patterns. This video covers the trank, this is the bit that covers most of your hand. The second video creates the thumb piece and the third video looks at creating the fourchette, the bit that goes down between the sides of the fingers. The videos will be released weekly. This is not a quick process. It is really important to take accurate measurements and take the time to draft your pattern. Whether you are making a pair of gloves for yourself or for a friend I would always advise making a mock up of the gloves to check for fit first. Always take the measurements yourself whenever possible. I would also advise using a leather that is similar to that you plan to use on the gloves. I like using lamb nappa for my gloves. Note for when you reach 17min and 55seconds in the video: I mention and I forgot to explain
