Making 18th century wool mitts

Fall is here and seasonal clothing has become necessary here in the north. So I am hand sewing 18th century wool mitts. I drew it out straight onto the fabric based on my measurements with no ease as even the broadcloth I used has some bias give. If I had used silk taffeta I would have made bigger seam allowances to give myself more room to work with the lack of ease. I show here how I do it, it's not a full on tutorial, for more detailed instructions please refer to American duchess guide to 18th century.
