Re: Drape Yourself a Bodice
For a hands-on process like draping, there is nothing like seeing it step by step. Thanks for sharing this.

Great idea--made 2 sets with a couple changes & used them tonight while star gazing in 25 degree weather. They did stay warm for 20 minutes or so.

(1) Made them oval, so they fit into the cup of the palm better.
(2) Used flannel and did not attach to gloves. Flannel had enough nap to hold their place in the gloves when I inserted them (while wearing the gloves). FYI, our gloves had a fleece lining. If the pads had shifted around, I would made another set adding a dot of velcro "teeth" to the flannel before starting to stich in order to insure the pad would cling to the glove.
(3) Made entirely on machine. Used a zigzag on outside edge. When stuffing, I made the channels quite full/fat, but stoped filling about 3/4 inch from top--that gave me enough sewing space to fit the machine foot. when sewn shut, rice could shift into empty space at top, thus "thinning" the pad, so it wasn't TOO fat.
