Fabric Pieces

Once your fabric is cut, you should have one seamless front piece, two back pieces, two long sleeves, two collar pieces, and two triangular gussets for the back crotch.

Stitches

For this project, the recommended stitches are a serger overlock stitch, a stretch stitch, or a zigzag stitch. A straight stitch may cause the threads to snap and is not advisable.

Step 1 How to sew a catsuit for drag queens

STEP 1

Take the two gusset pieces and align them with the wrong sides of the fabrics facing each other. Stitch around all the edges using a serger, stretch stitch, or zigzag stitch to join them together.

Step 2 How to sew a catsuit for drag queens

Place one of the back pieces right side up and position the double-layer gusset piece over the crotch area. The wider part of the gusset should align with the bottom edge, and the point should aim toward the neck of the back piece. Pin the gusset in place and then serge or sew.

Do not sew the other side of the gusset to the other back piece just yet, we will sew and finish that later after we install the zipper.

Insert a 22-24 inch invisible zipper along the center back opening starting at the collar. The right side of the zipper should face the right side of the fabric.
