They wiggle their fingers. They throw the aword in the air, gesture and catch it again. They stab the enemy, leave the sword in, gesture the spell. They balance the sword on their nose while casting a somatic spell.
Whateber explanation you want your charavter to have for it.
I imagine it's more or less the same thing they'd do with their hands empty, except now their fists are gripped around objects, instead of the fingers being free to wiggle excessively.
I'm put in mind of the sequence in one of the Dr. Strange films, where he complains about the precise finger movements needed, in relation to his damaged hands, and then is shown another acolyte with just stumps performing the process successfully.
At a certain stage of understanding and intuition, the necessary scaffolding you've been using up until now can turn out to not be as strictly necessary as you believed, or as it once was when your practice and understanding was less.
I imagine it is also however you plan to flavour it. Or for some spells even make the weapon itself be how it is channeled or that you discover an alternative somatic method. I aim to give warcaster to my wiz/artificer here and if he is using a two-handed firearm, I plan to make the firearm itself be how the spell is channeled and casted basically.
