Some years ago it was hard to "make some noise" with textile in Sweden. During my Art University years we were a tiny group who worked alone. I am so happy that has changed now! It's the comeback of textile - and "with a vengeance" :-) I love it!
I'm so glad to be a part of this great community of crafters.
Found these pair of boxing-gloves that I did at Art University.... they speak for them self about how I felt back then :-)
Velvet boxing-glovers with traditional Swedish folklore embroidery. The stitch is from the province of Blekinge called Blekingestitch (Blekingesöm).

Way to let 'em have it, Inger. Those misguided estimations of craft are so dreary!
Hi, I love these gloves. I was wondering if you could direct to finding a boxing glove pattern like these. I want to design my own gloves, I can not find a pair that I like. I have been in women's boxing for 1 1/2 years. I want to design a pair that custom fit me. The store bought ones rare not designed for everyone. Thank you so much in advance.

So cool that you are into boxing! I took a pair of boxing gloves and put a velvet fabric on them, cut out the pieces to fit and sew them together over the original glove. After that I embroidered the pattern freehand. Maybe a shoe maker or a person that can work with leather can do the same for you! I think you can make the coolest gloves ever!!
