Description
Well, as Halloween is coming up, I thought I would get a simple accessory tutorial up for you guys, that might help with your costume! They work wonderfully as a substitute (or cute accessory) for a school uniform, they also work for a kitty outfit, most Lolita outfits (please note: this might not be quite "in fashion" now, or readily accepted by the EGL community - do some research first so no one says anything :3), and stuff like that. Also, if you substitute a few measurements, they work wonderfully for arm warmers as well!I had Illustrator open for working on those Sew Village characters, so I did this one in Illustrator - changed the uploaded image from a PNG to a JPG, hopefully, it looks nicer now...
Anywho, a simple tutorial for how I make my leg warmers. They're usually made of fleece or knit, but if you're making it out of a non-knit fabric, read the note at the top about adding extra.
I hope this helps you all out a bit! Happy (early) Halloween

Oh dear... I was thinking of this for Amu Hinamori, but as a Lolita I need to correct you! Leg warmers are greatly frowned upon within the EGL community! If you'd edit the description, I'd be eternally grateful. The last thing I want is some poor new Loli to come to a meet with these leg warmers and get teased for being "ita!"

Really? Because I see them everywhere here, and in groups or lots of shops. Plus, I did this... heh, like 5 years ago, when it was uber popular to wear them with loli outfits even in the states.
I have a feeling that if someone was showing up to an EGL community meeting or something, they probably already know what's currently "in" or "acceptable" for it, but I will add something in anyways :3

Personally, I'd think you could use it for arm warmers too. I don't see why you couldn't.

I found this via a Google search and it's perfect! I'm just learning how to sew, and most tutes I find are way too complicated. >.< This one's nice and simple and easy to follow. Thanks!
One question though: Any pointers on replacing the elastic with some sort of tie (like a ribbon)? I wanted to make a set for my gijinka Weighted Companion Cube costume and I think that would fit the character better.

You know what else works well as really simple legwarmers? If you take some stretchy bellbottom pants and cut off the bottoms. Then all you have to do is hem it!
