Thickness of Matte Vinyl

Posted by Stacie on: Feb 8th 2010 7:37:42 pm

I need to make gloves and alter boots with the black matte vinyl, but I need to know how thick it is before I go trying to make gloves out of it.

I don\'t have time to order a swatch due to time constraints. Do you think I\'d easily be able to make gloves?

I've been making gloves and boots for many years now from a variety of materials, and for gloves the best is a soft, stretch vinyl, like you want. I use an ordinary home sewing machine, nothing special, but I do have a great technique that really works for fancy dress gloves. I\'m putting together a tutorial for it right now, and I think I\'ll either be using soft matte vinyl like you want or perhaps some PU rubber, which also works fantastic. I wouldn\'t be afraid to try it. After all, it's still much cheaper than leather. Go for it!
