Scout Trooper – Gloves – Reconstruction, Continued

Let’s Make These Screen Accurate…

Still making progress…

This area of the side of the Glove looks strange, so I redid it couple of times, until I was happy with it…

Re-sewing that area…

I plan to reuse the Glove liners, but they’ll need to me modded, as well…

The first thing I’ll need to do is reduce the “flare” at the end…

I just restitched new side lines…

And then trimmed off the excess…

Because the gauntlets are longer, I’ll need to extend the liner a bit…

I’m just adding some black cotton cloth…

I stitched the edge to the inside of the existing liner…

And then ran another stitch near the end of the old liner…

How it looks on the inside…

Then I repeated the process for the other side…

Then both sides were lined up and pinned…

Then, sewn…

Before permanently installing the liner, I made one last check of all of the seams. I found a few small spots that needed attention…

This looks a bit weird, too…

And, this small seam keeps popping out…

I used a needle & thread to strategically pinpoint and fix this…

As well as this…

This seam was ripped out and redone. Looks a lot better with less puckering…

I then cut some thin strips of HeatBond to use to tack the seam material back out of the way…

This helped tidy up the inside and leaves less material to get in the way, or in places where it shouldn’t be…
