Mother’s Day Gift Idea: Homemade Ruffle Cleaning Gloves
Homemade Ruffle Cleaning Gloves
Looking for a fun Mother’s Day gift idea? Want to make mom something for Mother’s Day that she will really be able to use? These Homemade Ruffle Cleaning Gloves can be made pretty easily and inexpensively.
I love homemade gifts, especially for occasions like Mother’s Day. That being said, I’m not overly talented with a sewing machine so this craft pushes my sewing abilities about as far as they go. My nine year old daughter loves this project, and can pretty must do this one by herself. You could also hand sew these, if you don’t have or don’t want to use a sewing machine.
Homemade Ruffle Cleaning Gloves
Supplies:
- 1/4″ yard cotton fabric (no fat quarters)
- Scissors
- Sewing pins
- Threaded sewing machine
- Rubber cleaning gloves
How to make ruffle cleaning gloves
1. Cut your fabric in half lengthwise.
2. Fold over one long side of your fabric pieces about a 1/4″ inch and pin.
3. Sew a straight line all the way access the folded raw edges, remove the pins, and trim any excess thread off.
4. Fold the opposite raw edge over about a 1/2″ and fold your long fabric strips into standard box pleats. Fold, pin, fold, pin, repeat until each fabric strip is fully folded and pinned. Think of an accordion fold.
5. Place the pinned edge of your pleated fabric onto the back top of the glove leaving a 1/4 of extra fabric.
6. Carefully and slowly sew the pleated fabric to the glove.
7. Cut off your excess fabric and sew the two pieces of pleated fabric together at the back side of the glove.
