I've bought some quite expensive soft leather gloves with a silk lining, from Dents. Beautiful gloves,but i bought them without realising they don't have a buttoned wrist. The wrist of the glove is quite wide around my slim wrists. How can i remedy it? I'm thinking about asking someone to stitch 10mm press studs into the wrists,so i can tighten the wrist of the glove. Would it be safe to stitch through the soft leather? If not any suggestions?

I've signed up with a textile art challenge - not that I need any more projects to work on!
Week 1 was to stitch four squares differently while using the same stitch. I cheated and used four different versions of chain stitch.
Week 2 was to take an object from around the house and represent it in your work. I chose my bike. So I had to figure out how to draw a bike so I could stitch it.
I'm actually quite chuffed with the stitched bike.

Do you sell them @welsh dragon ? I had a folding book-like cover for my first Kobo but don't have anything now. Of course, it was one of those "I could make one" things, but I never got round to it. So I may be in the market for something

At the moment they are just prototypes that I am playing with. I have a way to go before I would even think of selling Anything.

Unearthed this yesterday.
A clippy mat that I started 20 years ago. I've put it away again.
When it gets finished it'll probably an indicator that the world is about to end!
