For those interested, I've abandoned my attempts to make these $&^%@!!!?$#* gloves by hand. I talked to someone who knows about these things and the originals in the movie were just parade gloves that had the white sewed on BY HAND. I looked closely at some pictures and saw it was true!!
ARGH! I hate wasting my precious prop building time...
Let this be a lesson... Get the info FIRST before you start doing things the hard way.
