I used the template I created with this video to make a dry run pair with some extra fabric before I actually made the fur pair to check that I liked the sizing. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
I don't understand how you came to the garment measurements from your hand measurements? Did you just add a certain amount to your hand measurements, or increase the size by a percentage?
This is the BEST tutorial I could find for a mitten pattern! Thanks for sharing! Just screwed up my first pair due to the pattern.... they ended up child sized hahah
What great videos about making mittens. I am making my son and his wife a pair with beaver inside, Mt coyotes for the out, and leather from a deer hide for the "ties". Can't wait to get started.....Pics later (I hope)
Loved this vid. Tan my own furs from my trapline and have been wanting some mits. This is the best vid ever for this. Thank you much................Richard from Kansas:)
I can't believe how longwinded this video is and how obvious it is after 15 seconds and how it takes 37 minutes for you to make your point that could be done in 3 minutes. I also can't believe how many people think it's great. You need the patience of Job to wade through this.
was watching thinking to myself the whole time the actual measurements are pointless ... as it turns out our hands are identical lol.... I just got a fur sewing machine and a walking foot for the tougher stuff as well.. thanks for the videos very helpful!
This is the “how to video” on how to make a custom made pattern to specific measurements. This will give you the knowledge to create your own custom measurements. This is necessary as you will not want to go through this entire process and later realize it’s too small or too big. Just saying:) personally this template is a little too small for me in the flared gauntlet. Live and learn;)
Im super late to the party but this will be nice for my rabbit stash. If i wanted to do a trigger mitt, do you think theres a whole lot of extra steps invoved or should i be ok just rounding off a finger from the main part?
Can’t see it being a major issue, but you may want to do a mock prototype with random material first to ensure that the pattern is correct before you use it on a fur?
What is the thickness of the wool that you lined your mittens with, and where did you find it? Would you go that same route again? I just cut out this pattern. Going to do a mock up and then make a go at it with beaver.
It was a repurposed shearling coat. It was approximately 3/4” thick . Purchased the coat at value village in Saskatoon for $20 I think; wore it for years previously. Just didn’t wear it anymore and needed a liner for this project. It was kind of hard to cut the coat up, but it went to a good cause!
