Stretchy.org: How to make a catsuit A: gloves

[sleekweasel]

This pattern is derived from a leather pattern, but takes advantage of lycra's stretch. The leather pattern had particularly shaped pieces for joint mobility, so I'd suggest searching for: leather glove pattern.

Can I do this with a leather? I have a leather sewing machine. I will have to alter a little, but hey, we will see..

Thank you! I need to make gloves for my Halloween costume, and they need to be a relatively tight. This seems rather simple enough to do, if I take my time.. Thank you! I'll definately give this a try!

[EiriYuki92]

Thank you so much! This will really help me with my latest costume, since I only have the gloves left now :'3

[xfreakyemoness]

my sewing machine wont slow slowley if i try it jamms and i have to forcefully pull the circle thing on the side and it hurts, and i cant do it by hand cuz it stops when i try and turn the circle thing on the side. idk wuts wrong.. ive took it all apart but nothings jammed to make it do that...

[sleekweasel]

@xfreakyemoness I have my machines serviced by a sewing machine shop once a year, or every time I pour custard on them, whichever is more frequent. That means that if they jam (very rare) it's the shop's problem.

[xfreakyemoness]

@sleekweasel how much does it usually cost u?

[sleekweasel]

@xfreakyemoness That information's not going to help you unless you live in Cambridge, England. You'll need to consult your local services.

this looka complicated

can any one tell me how to make fishnet fingerless gloves???

[Marykosa]

I´m sorry, patricia field style haha

[sleekweasel]

Looks like you can: go to dishmake blogspot com and use the search box in the top left to search for 'half gloves'.

Wow, half gloves - even gloves that consist only of the fingers. And I thought catsuits were odd. :)

[Marykosa]

How can i make half gloves, lady gaga style?!?! can i use the same pattern and just cut it??

[MusicFeedsYourSoul]

Wow, that's complicated. I want to make a pair of elbow-length gloves for a Sailor Moon costume, but that seems really hard.

[sleekweasel]

I wouldn't say hard, and it's worth giving it a go if you enjoy sewing, but it does take a wee while.

The only reason I ever make gloves is for those rare occasions I want them as a contiguous part of a catsuit's sleeves: For a more normal costume I would tend to try to find and buy something suitable and work it in.

[sleekweasel]

You're very welcome - it's always good to hear this has been some use. :)
