June Finish

I’m just a little late posting this one!! 

A couple years ago, a friend’s partner reached out and asked if I could fix an antique set of boxing gloves. They belonged to his great grandfather!! Each time I thought I had things figured out to keep them together, the leather would rip or the old threads would giveaway. Needless to say, it took me two years to finish them. I didn’t want to do a half-ass job and google didn’t help. 

As you can see, my stitches don’t look pretty. It was the only way I could get them to stay together! 

They are being hung in a sports themed entertaining space in their home  They tell me people have commented on how old they are and that’s it’s awesome to see history hung up. They are a talking point and have had some stories told about them after a few too many drinks!!
