Its still snowing and so cooold in Ireland at the moment. Here's a little tip to help you keep warm. I regularly lose gloves and have just bought a new pair that I am determined to keep this time!
Do you remember when you were a kid and your gloves had strings so that you didn't lose them? Well this technique can be used for adults too!
You will need a length of ribbon in a complimentary color, long enough to go around your neck and down each arm.
Then stitch one end of the ribbon to the back of each glove using a few neat stitches so that the ribbon is securely attached.
This will only take a few minutes and when you are finished, simply feed each glove through the sleeve of your coat. This is really useful when you are out shopping and go into a warm shop, you can take your gloves off and not worry about losing them.
You can use any ribbon, however for something special, the lovely range of East Of India Ribbons, which come in 3 meter lengths are ideal.
That's a really cute idea!!

Love this idea, and has inspired me to do my daughter's gloves. I prefer the wrist warmers and will experiment with that.
Thanks x
