I absolutely love those long gloves. They really add a level of charm and class and elegance to any outfit especially when the gloves are color coordinated with the outfit. Great job!!

[@KirileeCosplay]

Thank you so much! ^_^

[@scottwilliams846]

​@@KirileeCosplayAm I able to use a non stretchy fabric like faux fur or something?

[@sarah-the-dog-lover]

Puppy approval is essential!

[@KirileeCosplay]

Absolutely

[@Hippidippimahm]

I’m getting into vintage reproduction/imitation and I can’t thank you enough!!! I’m passionate about recycling clothes and the ability to make matching gloves, belts, purses, hats, for any outfit is absolutely amazing. I would appreciate any accessory tutorials!

[@KirileeCosplay]

I shall certainly keep that all in mind! ^_^

[@thatrandomgirl4574]

Omg tysm! I was litrally thinking on making some gloves for my cosplay this seems easy enough for me to make 😁🥰

[@KirileeCosplay]

You are welcome! It is true- it is one of the easiest accessories to make

[@canucknancy4257]

Brilliant! If I ever manage to get back to my Burlesque class again, this will come in very handy to match gloves to whatever costume I come up with. Easy to follow and quick. Thanks so much. Happiest of New Years to you, lovely lady. Take care.

[@KirileeCosplay]

Oh nice! Yes, it is nice to have perfectly matching gloves to an outfit!

Puppy upon seeing blue gloves: 0.0 Good tutorial yet again. Nice tip about cutting 1 gloves, sewing then trying on inside out

[@KirileeCosplay]

Thank you :)

[@terrified.little.lamb.]

I really wanna start wearing more gloves with my outfits but I can just never find the kind that I want or the right colour so this tutorial is very helpfull. From now on I will just make them myself! I still have a bunch of old shirts that have the perfect fabric from them!!!

[@KirileeCosplay]

Go for it!

First video of 2021!!! Stretch fabric is a lifesaver but the expensive multiple pice glove really hugs the arm/hand.

[@KirileeCosplay]

I hope you may find some fabric on sale then :)

[@gabrielles1851]

Thank you for this simple and easy to follow tutorial. I have long arms and opera length gloves were never long enough for me so I made my own using your vid and they turned out excellent. Next time I wear my Regency gown I will have appropriate length gloves. I ended up using Exoflex thread and I did a straight stitch around the whole thing and it worked beautifully. I only used a stretch stich to hem it.

[@KirileeCosplay]

Great work!

[@KirileeCosplay]

My pleasure!

[@divalea]

It’s much easier to sew the gloves if you leave a lot of fabric around them. Easier to turn corners, no chance of slippery stretch fabric getting caught in the throat (the hole where the needle goes in and out) of the machine.

[@KirileeCosplay]

You can do that too! I just do it this way ;)

[@divalea]

I’m glad it will help!

[@storytimefoxy]

AAAAAAA thank you so much for this tutorial!!! 💜💜💜 I want to make my own white gloves for my circus baby cosplay since my hands are so tiny so I'm so scared to just buy a cheap pair gloves to make her robotic hands with cause I don't want it to be obvious that it are gloves, I want the gloves to be skin tight and not see through y'know. So thank you again for this tutorial 💜💜💜

[@KirileeCosplay]

I’m so glad that this could help! You see I have the opposite problem. No women’s glove fit my very wide hands!

[@musicandbooklover-p2o]

Perfect timing for this video. A couple of hours ago my landlady asked me if I could make her a pair of gloves to wear to a wedding on Thursday -- day after tomorrow my time. Only they have to be made from light blue organza to match her hat and bag. Will give this a try and cut them on the bias, fine french seams in the hope it won't fray too much and they at least last for the wedding and reception. Thanks for the video, turned up on my feed at just the right time. Greetins from Ireland.

[@KirileeCosplay]

Good luck!

[@musicandbooklover-p2o]

@@KirileeCosplay It was a disaster. Even cutting them on the bias, as soon as I cut around the stitches the fabric simply shredded itself and the stitches basically fell off the edge. I feel guilty as they were needed for a wedding today but i am going to look and see if I can find some stretchy tulle, maybe with a diamante design, and make her a pair anyway. I know what colour I am looking for, it doesn't fray at all and the stretch will mean they don't put any strain on the seams. She will still have them for the next time she wears anything from that outfit. On the plus size, my trial run using an old bedsheet (cotton knit) actually worked out beautifully and my daughter want a pair to wear for driving in the summer - cooler than her leather ones are - so it wasn't a total loss. Oh, and to top it off my sewing machine broke down part way through (back stitch simply doesn't look as good on organza as zigzag does) and the cord on my spare machine decided it was time to part company with the plug meaning I need to get a new foot connector for that. Not one of my better days.

[@gabrielles1851]

@@musicandbooklover-p2o Non-stretch fabrics have to have something called a fourchette in-between each finger to make space. Try a pattern that uses fourchette and use a smaller stich length to make the seams sturdy. Make the gloves close fitting but not tight so the seams are not strained.

I just found your channel while looking for a petticoat skirt tutorial and literally - all your videos are just what i searched for!! So helpful! Im trying to figure out a plan for sewing Ciel Phantomhives pink dress 👀💕

[@KirileeCosplay]

I’m glad that I could help! I have made the ciel pink dress- I would say start with a small crinoline, add a long petticoat over it (with the layers) and then build the dress on top :)

[@reikanart]

@@KirileeCosplay Thank you! I already have a suitable crinoline with some tulle layers included, do you think i could use the petticoat tutorial for the white skirt part of the dress and just put it over the crinoline? If you have time to answer, may i ask a couple questions about how you did the pink part of the dress in the back?

[@KirileeCosplay]

Yes you can do that for the white part at the back. As for the back of the pink dress- the waterfall drapes? The look is achieved but cutting it circular and and sloping the bottom curve up. Then you fold it in on itself. Does that make sense, or does it need its own tutorial? Or did you mean something else all together? Lol

[@reikanart]

@@KirileeCosplay yes thats what i meant! Allright thank you so much ^^

Hello! I absolutely love this video as it explained well, but sadly i don't have a sewing machine, may I ask if i can just sew it myself? Would it look horrible..?

[@KirileeCosplay]

You absolutely can! Try and do an over stitch rather than a running stitch

[@ryancombs1064]

Hi there! This is so helpful and well edited! How much fabric would you suggest ordering to make the gloves?

[@KirileeCosplay]

Honestly, not much - half a meter has generally always served me well for long gloves

[@Lunars_lyre]

I'm curious, for fingerless gloves would you hem the fingers as well? It makes sense but would probably have to be hand sewn yea?

[@KirileeCosplay]

Honestly I didn’t just because the fabric doesn’t fray, but you could do it by hand if you wanted ti

[@HaiqaNasir-kc9fl]

Can you please make with opening finger caps which open from finger tips 😭

[@KirileeCosplay]

If I have a project I need to make it for I will consider it :) otherwise, use this as a base and add what is needed

[@Bane_Amesta]

Ok, the retracing your hand on the fabric is a thing so obvious but I never tried that, I hope my next gloves gets better I always have the problem of wanting to hem the finger openings on the fingerless gloves, and ends up really bad :/ I gues I'll have to give up on that...

[@KirileeCosplay]

Yes! It was a little trick I found really helps- just do sew just outside of the line :)

[@dungeonsdoodads4306]

I need to make a glove I can attach a lot of things to then wear for most of a weekend at a convention. Would this work with a thicker non-stretch material on top?

[@KirileeCosplay]

You would need to allow for some extra fabric

[@EvergardenOpal]

if it's a 2-way stretch fabric, should you cut on the bias? or does it not matter? tysm ^-^

[@KirileeCosplay]

If you are cutting on two way- cut it so the stretch in going across the hand. And leave yourself some extra room

[@mattTc17]

It was hard to tell but did you hem each finger on the fingerless version?

[@KirileeCosplay]

In this case no. You certainly can but it is a little fiddly. It would be worth hemming them before sewing Botha halves together

[@mattTc17]

@@KirileeCosplay thanks! I just wasn't sure if the material frays. And how to do it if I picked a material that DOES fray haha. Hemming the fingertips before sewing the two halves together makes total sense.
