I choose to explore applications of my sewing techniques to creating more complex 3-dimensional shapes and following patterns. My goal was to take my existing sewing skills and challenge myself to make something that is robust and well-constructed enough to be wearable, and to be consistent enough to be reproducible. I also wanted to gain more practice and experience with a sewing machine, to learn the different challenges and benefits of machine sewing vs. hand sewing. I choose a glove because it had both straight and curved edges, multiple pieces to construct, and would be small enough to finish in time, even sewing by hand.
