After purchasing the gloves, we drove around town in search of finding someone to sew a pouch inside our gloves in order to house the hot-hands. We each decided to take a different route to compare prices for someone to attach the pouch.
Mike first went to Max's Cleaners and was redirected to E-Tailor and was told that it would be very difficult to sew on the pouch and therefore could not do it. After that he was told that it couldn't be done, he went to Classic Cleaners. A very nice lady informed him that it couldn't be sewn by machine but would have to be sewed in by hand. She further explained that it was going to be difficult because the gloves are double-layered and that it would cost $10 dollars a pair (way to expensive!).
On the other side of town, Maria went to Alterations. After being told that it would be impossible to sew in the pouch, because once again, it would be very DIFFICULT to sew in the pouch. She then continued on to Chong's Tailoring and Alterations and was relieved to hear the news---it was possible, however it would have to be sewn by hand. She told her that it would cost $8 a pair. Lastly, she went to Tatiana's Alterations and was informed that it was possible. Once again, it had to be sewned by hand and would cost $8 a pair as well.

We decided to purchase 42 thinsulate fleece gloves in a variety of colors for both men and women from Walmart at $5 each. We also purchased 28 packages of hot-hands warmers which include three sets in each package. This allowed us to have 2 sets of hot-hands for each set of gloves.
