You are viewing: How To Make Gloves Out Of Non Stretch Fabric
I’M KIDDING! But seriously, be warned that making gloves with non-stretch fabrics is rather difficult because of the flexible nature of hands. Most tutorials say to use a fabric with 4-way stretch (like spandex) which makes it VERY hard to find one that is for non-stretch fabric. I looked through tons of tutorials when I made my Shego gloves out of green pleather. Here’s one below:

I would recommend adding more space in each finger when you draft your pattern. And make sure that you have enough fabric similar to the one that you’re making your gloves with so that you can make mockups and find the right way to make your gloves.
Good luck!

It’s entirely possible (but not entirely fun, heh) to make gloves out of a non-stretch material. After all, gloves have existed for centuries before spandex was invented, and they still make and sell gloves out of non-stretch materials like leather.
One thing to keep in mind with non-stretch gloves is that you NEED gussets/fourchettes. If you make non-gusseted gloves out of a non-stretch material, you will not be able to move your hands. The linked tutorial looks good, but I’d recommend purchasing a pattern rather than trying to draft your own on your first attempt, since the proportions and sizing are very easy to mess up on something like a glove. I believe the one I use is from Vogue. If you can find a pattern that specifically mentions using non-stretch materials as an option, even better.
When making gloves, I always hand baste the fourchettes first, no matter the material. You can fully handsew them, though I always find that I need to do a bit of resizing, which is easier to do on machine. It takes longer, but it is far easier and prevents a lot of the issues of making sure that so many tiny and precise pieces remain lined up than sewing it on a machine first. Just throw on some TV or a couple of movies (I find that it takes me about 6 episodes of anime to do a pair of gloves in a thinner material like spandex, so that’s about 3 hours – pleather, vinyl, leather, and the like will take a bit longer) and go at it. (I always watch Dirty Pair when sewing gloves, like a weird tradition, haha)
