Problem: Article: Fold the thumb piece down its center and stitch along the top and side, joining them together. Stop just short of the bottom curve.  If you want to hide your stitching, make sure that the right sides of all pieces face each other as you stitch and turn the pieces right-side out once they are stitched together. Alternatively, you can keep all of your stitching on the outside of the gloves, allowing it to remain visible. In that case, keep all of the pieces right-side out as you stitch them together. Hidden and visible stitches are both an option with leather, so this is merely a personal style choice on your part. Insert the open bottom of your thumb piece into the thumb hole of your trank piece. Pin the edges of the thumb to the edges of the hole, then sew around the entire joined edge.  Make sure that the thumb points upward as you insert it into the thumb hole. The thumb piece edge and thumb hole should match pretty evenly. You can bend the edge of the thumb hole inward so that the right sides of the hold edge and thumb piece face each other, or you can pin/sew the right side of the thumb edge along the wrong side of the hole edge. Either option will work, so again, this is merely a matter of style preference. You will need to connect it to the palm and back sides of your trank pattern. Pin and sew in place.  Attach the fourchette to the palm side of your pattern first. Once the piece has been sewn onto the palm side of the trank, attach it to the back side of the trank. Sew from the tip of the index finger and down along the palm side slit, then back up to the tip of the middle finger. When joining the fourchette to the back trank, start from the tip of the middle finger and move down the slit, then back up to the tip of the index finger. Once the fourchette between your index and middle fingers has been sewn on, move onto the fourchettes between your middle and ring fingers and between your ring and pinky fingers. The sewing method for these other two fourchettes is exactly the same as the sewing method for the first.  Sew the middle/ring fourchette on next. Once it's on, sew the ring/pinky fourchette on. Work as you did before, sewing each fourchette onto the palm side of your trank first before doubling back over the back side of the glove. If necessary, pin down the glove so that the outer edges of both sides meet each other. Sew down both sides of the gloves and close up any gaps that still remain around the finger area.  The only opening left by the end of this step should be the wrist opening. This, of course, remains open. If you want to hide your side seams, make sure that the right sides of your glove pieces face each other as you finish up the sewing. Turn the glove right-side out when the sewing is finished. If you want the seams to show, keep the wrong sides facing in as you sew. When you complete this step, you should have one finished glove. Follow the same exact sewing steps with your remaining pieces to make a second glove that matches the first.  Sew the thumb piece together, then sew the thumb piece into the thumb hole of the trank. Stitch all the fourchettes in place, working with the index/middle combination first, followed by the middle/ring combination, and concluded with the ring/pinky combination. Note that the palm side of this glove will be the opposite of the palm side for your first glove. Stitch along the sides and open finger gaps to complete the glove, leaving only the wrist open. At this point, your gloves are finished and ready to wear.
Summary: Sew down the side of the thumb. Pin and sew the thumb on. Insert the first fourchette piece in between your first fingers. Repeat this procedure with the other two fourchettes. Sew down the side of your glove. Repeat with the second glove. Try on your gloves.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you feel your boyfriend is being disrespectful, learn to assert yourself. In the moment the disrespect occurs, let him know you will not tolerate it. You do not have to be aggressive or mean. Simply state your needs in a calm fashion   When your boyfriend is being difficult, say so in the moment. Calmly let him know what he's saying is not respectful and you don't appreciate it. Do this in a calm fashion to avoid escalating the argument. For example, your boyfriend is on your case about you going out with friends from work because he feels these friends are not responsible. Say something like, "I appreciate your concerns, but I know how to stay safe. I'm allowed to have a social life and I need you to respect that." If your boyfriend is chronically disrespectful, he may not always listen when you assert yourself. Instead of hearing your needs and backing off, he may become hostile or even aggressive. For example, "I don't care what you think you need. I don't want you going out with those girls from the office." In this case, just walk away.  You need to back up your words with behavior. If you want your boyfriend to respect your social life, and he isn't, show him you won't tolerate this lack of respect. Say something like, "You're not listening to me and this isn't getting us anywhere. I'm going for a walk." Then, leave for a few hours to give your boyfriend a chance to calm down. Living with a chronically disrespectful person can drain your self esteem. You may start to feel you are not worth things like love and respect. This is not the case. Everyone has worth, so remind yourself of yours when necessary.  Most people have some areas in their lives they could use to improve. However, this does not mean you don't deserve love or respect. Just because you're, say, a little messy does not give your boyfriend the right to yell at or berate you constantly. Remind yourself of of this. Adopt a personal mantra. Try something like, "I matter. I deserve respect. I deserve love." If someone keeps disrespecting you, you don't have to stay in the relationship. If you consistently feel controlled, uncomfortable, or unhappy with someone, the relationship is probably not worth your time. There's nothing wrong with walking away if someone is not respecting you.
Summary:
Assert yourself when necessary. Exit conversations if you're not being respected. Remind yourself of your own worth. Think about taking a break from the relationship.
