Lycra Glove Sewing Tutorial
By ladythesta
1K Favourites176 Comments66K Views
Alright, I've been working my way through sewing my first Lycra bodysuit, also called a unitard. But I've been having to adapt various parts from a figure skating pattern.
The pattern included the body (obviously) and sleeves. But no legs, feet, or gloves. After hours of digging around online, I came to the conclusion that gloves were evil beings designed to cover one of the most complex parts of the human body.
So when light bulb went off in my head in a way to make these gloves, I decided to share it with everyone here! Now, I can't guarantee this'll work for everyone as this was actually my second, going on third, attempt at making these gloves. But each try gets better and I hope it at least gives others SOME ideas!
If you use this tutorial, please let me know! I want to see what you come up with! And please credit me if you link this anywhere (such as LJ communities, cosplay.com, ect.)
And feel free to ask me if you need clarification on anything! (or point out any spelling mistakes, I think I caught them all but you never know) Thank you!

Greetings,
Just wanted to share my latest glove projects, seiryuu-san.deviantart.com/art… and seiryuu-san.deviantart.com/art…
I just love this tutorial so much, that I'll be using it whenever I make gloves.

Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I used this to make the gloves for my rocket grunt cosplay and they turned out perfect! Exactly the kind of gloves I wanted
Here's a link to my cosplay vanillaa.deviantart.com/art/Te…


You can poke holes in the sides of the claws before they are dry/cured and then when it comes time to attach them to the gloves, use a fabric glue to attach the bulk and then stitch threw the holes you already made to give it an extra anchor. You might need a friend to help with this because I think it would be best to have your hand in the glove at the time so you have the claw placement right and to prevent the two sides of the finger from being sewn/glued together.
Hope that helps!
