No-sew Fingerless Gloves
This is the story of a pair of trouser socks that I've had for 3 years, and have never worn once. Waste!!
So I slipped them on my arms, and snipped a couple of threads at each fingertip. And they became fingerless gloves! No sewing involved, hot dog! Except the couple of stitches to add the ribbon bows.
My husband quickly pointed out that fishnet always looks scandalous to him, and to tell you the truth I was feeling a little like Madonna, despite my attempt to make them look innocent by pairing them with polka-dots. (there can never be anything scandalous about polka-dots, right?)
So I scrunched them down, and we both agreed that the preacher's wife could get away with wearing them that way :o) Everyone's happy, and now my trouser socks will get some use! Happy day :o)
And thank you to God, who was considerate enough to send a little snow for my photo shoot. It added just the right touch :o)
sooooooo darn cute!:)
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely the most stylish preacher's wife I've seen. Only a little Madonna and the bows saved the day. I think the snow was perfect, isn't God great?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these!!Very Madonna in Papa dont preach!! Beautiful photos as well. We are enjoying the snow down here too, we are lucky in this part of the state to have great seasons.Happy New Year to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteJust scandalous enough! ;) Those look cute! I love to see you re-purpose things. {like this and the outgrown leggings!} The snow made your gorgeous pix look even more beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
LOVE these..so cool!
ReplyDeletehappy new year!

VERY cute and sweet. I always wish I was cool enough to pull off something like that. You pull it off fabulously! And the snow was DIVINE!!
ReplyDeleteAs long as you sing Madonna's "Like a Prayer" in them, you're good, right? :)
ReplyDeletecute ..... though i am not into gloves. you are amazing disney, super creative!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! I'll have to try it out. ;)
ReplyDeleteYour bows always look perfect! Do you have a tutorial or can you give tips on how to make such perfect bows? Thanks!

I love the gloves and the fact that God does give us little "winks" once in a while. I'm off to make some gloves right now!
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE! When you decide you don't want that polka dot dress anymore can I have it?!? Haha...it rocks!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, so funny. I'm sure my husband would feel the same about fishnet gloves. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!! That is so material girl!! I love it! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I've been looking for a way to get away with wearing a cap-sleeved (polka-dot, even!) dress in the wintertime. This is perfect!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love the polka dot dress.
ReplyDeleteOH! I love them! Is there another kind (un-fishnetteed) socks that you could see this working well with? I have no imagination.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY NEW YEAR DISNEY-

Sure! You could do it with any kind of sock, you would just have to cut the end off and hem them up, which is a little tricky, but it can be done with a little patience! I'd love to try it with some sheer black dress socks with polka-dots.
ReplyDeleteI have a necklace my husband refers to as my 'hooker' necklace and scowls at me whenever I try to wear it... consequently I rarely wear it. I imagine fingerless fishnet gloves whoul get the same review.... BUT maybe some black trousers socks will work too. great idea!
ReplyDeleteI think they looked great up!:) The bows added just the right touch!!:)
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning! Can't wait to find a pair of trouser socks.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I have just recently come across your blog and love all your ideas. Now I wish I had a little girl to try some of your ideas out on. Keep those amazing ideas coming.
ReplyDeleteI agree with KJsMom that you are the most stylish preacher's wife I have ever seen. All the mom's at your church must love you.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! What a fabulous idea! Makes me want to go through my sock drawer and see what I can do!
ReplyDeleteWe all need to be a little scandalous once in a while right!!! Love these babies!
ReplyDeleteI love these!
ReplyDeleteI'm kinda weary of fishnet too, but these are great! The snow was just the cherry on top. :)
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing scandalous about fishnets. They're adorable with the bow and polka dots. It's a person that is scanadlous, not their gloves! Sheesh.
ReplyDeleteAnyway they look great. Everything you make looks great.
Strange that covering up your arms and hands would be considered scandalous. It's the fishnets, they do it every time. Cute, though!
ReplyDeleteNice gloves. But awesome photos. I'll admit I thought preachers' wives are stodgy oldies. Clearly I was wrong!
ReplyDeleteSO AWESOME! I just found your blog and was blown away by your talent and style! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBTW, Madonna-esque in a very good way.
Cheers!
ok seriously, i just came across your blog and it has got to be the cuteyest thing i have ever seen! and this little shoot with the snow, your outfit... i am dying over it. it's the cutest thing EVER!!!!!!! i wish i knew you in person, you are precious!!
ReplyDeleteI though it was funny that you said, "there could never be anything scandalous about polka dots". My mother told me that back in the day Abilene Christian College(Texas) would not allow young ladies to wear polka dot dresses because it was too much of a temptation for the young men to want to poke the dots. That has always made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteThat is completely hilarious!! I would never have thought of that. Did your mother go to ACU? I'm familiar with it-my husband preaches for a Church of Christ. I have some friends who have attended ACU as well!
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny.. I love your balance of scandalous and preachers wife! Hey, not all preachers' wives should have to be frumpy!
ReplyDeleteMy mother went to Beauty School but was from around that area (country) and knew people that went there. I myself spent my freshman year at Lubbock Christian in the late 90's but they were not that strict, not quite anyway. I am really enjoying your blog and have a little girl around the same age as yours, so I am loving the little girl ideas.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Awesome! It may look a little scandalous, but it will shake things up a little and keep people guessing. ;-) That's from one pastor's wife to another.
ReplyDeleteLOVE how creative you are with your wardrobe.

I just love how you praise God for everything! It is so nice to see! I adore everything on your blog and will be making some of these things for Christmas gifts for my 73 family members. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteOH my goodness! Love these, they are so cute!!!
