Making: Superman – catsuit

There are a large number of photos in this walkthrough, so the build has been partitioned into the following sections:

  • Part 0 – print pattern and cut pieces
  • Part 1 – create logo in front piece
  • Part 2 – putting the fly zip in the front piece.
  • Part 3 – rear zip
  • Part 4 – main build

Links to download the pattern are at the bottom of this page.

Part 0

Trace and cut out all pieces.

Mark out all the pieces, taking note of the colour required for each, and where pieces have a mirror image.

Pieces cut out. The S logo is a printout onto film at this point.

Ensure all pieces are clearly marked with their identity, left-right handedness, gluing sides, construction order and alignment marks.
