craftgrrl | Arm Warmers + Tutorial (Reply)

This style of arm warmer seems quite popular (on etsy, at least) I decided to make my own.

This is the second pair I made, the first was a bit more haphazard and not really worth showing XD

This style is often worn "inside out" with the seams showing as a part of the style. Sadly I don't have a serger to make it look super nice like that so I used zig zag stitches...which seem to hold up alright (don't quite like the way they look as much though!) On the second pair they also look very nice right side out so I took the photo wearing one each way just to show. I also added some "x" shaped patches on one of the green ones. They are actually sewn on both the inside and outside to make it truly reversible (it was tricky!)

Anyway during this process before I started anything I went around looking for a tutorial for this sort of thing, assuming with it's popularity and relative simplicity there would be some resources for it and I found absolutely nothing! So after I did it myself I created one if anyone is interested. http://crimson-flygon.deviantart.com/art/Patch-Arm-Warmer-Tutorial-207121890?q=gallery%3Acrimson-flygon&qo=0
