Anann set the leather duffel back on the ground. Opening the bag she pulled a roll of leather. Laying it flat on the ground unrolled she continued to pull more things from the bag. The spool of cord for threading and a pouch of needles. Along with the pouch of vine charcoal and a bit of scrap leather for making the thumb part of the gloves. She laid everything out before she began to explain how they would start."Okay, first we are going to mark the pattern for the gloves on the leather. I don't keep any pattern stencils, so we will just trace your hand." She held up her own hand to help explain. Tucking her thumb in and against her palm. We wont trace the thump for the main body of the glove. Just the fingers, palm, and wrist. I assume you want your gloves to almost to the elbow?" It would be wise to protect the tendons in the arm for the sharp talons of the bird she assumed. So long as the large cuffs wouldn't get in his way. They would be cut separately though. "The front and back of the glove will be one piece. Folding on the side of your first finger and thumb. I'll explain the thumb later. First we will just want to trace your hand palm up and palm down. Leave about an inch between your hand the line you trace. Any questions?" She asked as she held out a piece of the charcoal for him to use. Since he had wanted to learn she figured she would let him do as much of it as he wished to. "Also make a small mark to mark the location of your wrist. It will help us put the thumb in the correct location." She add almost forgetting the small step.
