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

This is wonderful!
The warmers for the costume are gathered at both ends, instead of the flared end here, so for step 2, instead of triangles, what shape should I attach? I'm thinking it would be either rectangles or half-circles, but I don't have any experience, so I'm not sure.

Oh geeze! I'm so sorry for not seeing this sooner!!
I think you could definitely make the main part of the leg warmer either one big rectangle (easiest way to do it) or, if you want them to have a bit more of a dramatic shape, you could shorten the trapezoid shape and stack two of them (kind of like a hexagon?) to create a more ballooned shape for them (curving the seams would make it look less rigid, too) - if that makes sense!
I can sketch out what I'm talking about if that would help at all

am i supposed to add 6 inches to each side or 3 inches to each? cause i made one putting 6 inches on both sides, and its ended up very... billowy,
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, if 6 to both sides is too full, try 3 or 2 or 4 or anything in between
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
maybe just a weird perspective, i went ahead and mode both with 6 on both sides so.... it looks good i guess? XDD

I'm thinking about doing a Wa Lolita cosplay this year and this would be an adorable addition to it! Maybe I can actually sew them too. xD

Woot!! This is the shape of leg-warmer I was looking for :3
Everything else is just. . .not what I needed. My friend and I will probably do Robo Kiss( by W )at our talent show and the outfit I had in mind called for these XD
You're such a fantastic person right now x3

This is awesome! It looks easy to follow/make and will be helpful, since I can't ever find any legwarmers at stores.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I hear you! There aren't any in stores, it's really depressing, cuz they're very practical!
If you get caught up in something, or just about anything sewing related, feel free to ask - if I can't answer it, I can probably point you to someone/somewhere that can
