Free pattern: Vintage day gloves

Mary Beth from The Vintage Pattern Collective shares a free vintage pattern at the Pattern Patter blog for making a pair of gloves. I think this would be a fun project to tackle. I’ve always wanted to see if I could make my own pair of gloves. The pattern makes a pair of wrist length “day gloves” or casual gloves. They’re sewn by hand from jersey fabric. The pattern originally appeared in a January 1956 Workbasket Magazine. It comes in small, medium, and large sizes.
