Teacher who made inauguration gloves that went viral says she’s had thousands of requests for more
Bernie Sanders’ mittens may have become the unexpected must-have fashion accessory of Joe Biden’s inauguration, but those hoping to steal the Vermont senator’s look are in for a disappointment. The teacher who made them and gave them to Sanders says she has none for sale.
The mittens that sparked hundreds of internet memes were made from repurposed sweaters and recycled plastic by Jen Ellis, a 42-year-old second grade teacher who lives in Essex Junction, Vermont, just outside of Burlington, where Sanders was mayor in the 1980s.
