Pattern and Instructions: The Jeanne Gloves (A Guest Artist Design)
Hey Artists, it’s time for another guest-designed pattern! I am thrilled to bring you something totally different this month: a pair of gorgeous gloves from Jeanne Hermans, the designer behind the couture glove atelier C’est Jeanne. Follow her on Instagram (@cest_jeanne) to see the jaw-dropping creations she designs. I am so proud we could bring in an artist of her caliber to teach us something totally new.
The Jeanne Gloves are vintage-style fitted gloves made in stretch fabrics, and their beautiful seaming and detailing feel like pure luxury on the hands. Give them a femme fatale vibe in two-toned fabric, like our leopard and black pair. Or go super sweet, with ruffled mesh gloves that would be perfect for high tea. However you make them, these are the perfect year-round accessory for your Charm creations! And the best part is that they will be custom sized to both your hand width and your finger length for a truly bespoke item.
Working on the Jeanne Gloves has taught us so much, and I guarantee that these couture-level accessories will give you a whole new appreciation for the art of glove-making. Jeanne designed these gloves to be suitable for the first-time glove sewist, with simple stretch fabrics and minimal finishing. Still, you will find that the skills required to sew these delicate pieces (⅛” seam allowances! Tiny finger gussets!) make them a challenging project. Our best advice is to watch the video all the way through before sewing and make at least two test gloves to acquaint yourself with the process. You can do it! Just give yourself plenty of time and patience to practice.
Wondering about fabrics and supplies? Check out the written instructions (complete with illustrations!) at the bottom of this post for links and recommendations. The pattern file is attached for printing on A4 or letter-size sheets. See the step-by-step video in this post.
Thank you so much to Jeanne for creating this gorgeous pattern for us, and for teaching us the refined art of glove-making. We hope you love this project! Don’t forget to share your finished gloves with the hashtag #jeannegloves.
Xoxo,
Gertie

Great project! Thank you! Love those sunglasses! What brand are they?
They are by Francis Klein! Purchased at Luxe Optique in Beacon, New York.
Yeeeessss! Finally I can make cute gloves for my large hands ❤❤❤
I love this. My nan (92) used to sew gloves for Cornelia James when she was younger. They were all made by hand and had the highest standards. They are glove makers for the queen.
My children gave me a pair of gloves from Cornelia James for Christmas last year. I was delighted beyond words!
YES!!! I was hoping we'd get a glove pattern!
Can not wait to make a pair, perfect timing for the Aussie winter.
I am so excited to make these!
They are beautiful ! Sadly my hands are slightly too big for the given sizes. Any chance of a more inclusive sizing? It is so hard to find vintage gloves for bigger hands, so i am sure lots of people would really appreciate it! :)
Yes, we could consider extending it! This is our first foray into handwear, so it's great to get feedback on the ideal size chart. I will say that there is a lot of wiggle room with fit by using fabrics with more or less stretch, so the size chart is a very rough estimate (since you can use a range of stretch percentages). So if you need a bigger size, use higher stretch spandex fabrics (70 percent or more). Use fabrics with under 50 percent stretch if you need a smaller size. :)
Look at your hand modeling skills 🤩 fabulous!! Love the pattern 💛
I was so hoping for another accessory pattern this month!
Love these gloves!!! I got tiny hands so being able to make my own is great!! But I wasn’t expecting guest pattern until next month. Thought it was fit clinic month. But hey MORE PATTERNS
Love it! I have so often wanted to try to sew gloves! Thank you ❤️
Love it! Will be great to make these to match some outfits...
I agree! I love having gloves to match my outfits, The only additional option I would like is to have a longer length for jackets with 3/4 length sleeves. In the 50's and 60's many suits had below elbow sleeves with gloves went up the forearm
I am so excited about this! I've wanted to make gloves for a long time.
OMG this is so cool! 😍💙
The gloves are gorgeous but I NEED that hat pattern!
Fantastic!! I'd bought a vintage glove pattern but just couldn't get my head around it - I already measured and I'm XS with finger size 1, I can still fit gloves I wore when I was 8 lolol. Thank you for this, wonderful!!
I'm not even a good Catholic, but give me those church gloves. Also, the hats, tell me more hats are coming, specially the black one.
I literally saved a photo of a pair of gloves I love yesterday and was thinking I need to find a glove pattern!
Gorgeous
OMGGGG!! These are so fab! Can't wait to try and make these!!
So thrilled!!! I’ve always wanted to make gloves and hats! Dreams coming true!
Awesome !!!
I forgot today was the 15th, so getting my notification for this made my day!!!

I love these guest patterns because I completely forget they are coming. This pattern is amazing and I already know I have some leopard print fabric floating around to use haha
I had on my head for some reason it was a bi-monthly thing and I wasn't expecting it until July
And only requires half a yard! I love scrap busting apparel makes!
I think this has been my favorite month of Patreon ever!
Those little pink ones with the ruffle! So sweet!
I love the accessories that are coming out this year! Thank you so much Gertie!!!
