Step By Step guide on how to make an Arm Warmer. Suitable for characters from the VOCALOID family like, Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin & Len etc.

**************************************
Apologies for the delay. This tutorial was hard X-X And sorry for the horrrribllllle narration. Even though it took me 20+ minutes just recording my voice but because I didn't have a preplanned script and didn't have much brain cells, I NGed a lot and pretty much gave up correcting myself and just record away =x

I just woke up from a nap and recorded the narration, so I guess that explains the really low voice here XD

Would Rin Kagamines Leg warmers be the same? (i'd love if you answered. (THANK YOU SO MUCH BTW it's my second time cos-playing and the first time i'm using a machine so i'm still nervous!

[elpheal]

@neurogirl12 yup

[Cassierolee]

anyone know a good fabric to use for these? I was thinking a sheer fabric anyone have suggestions?

[elpheal]

@Cassierolee a stiff and easy to work with fabric would be good. I prefer cotton or polyester

Hello there. c: Another great video.

I don't know if you've answered this, but how do you do an interlock stitch? I know what it is and what it does, but my machine just can't seem to get it right. ; u; It really screwed me over on my most recent cosplay. Thank you~ ♥

[elpheal]

@MercuryAquaRhapsody3 sorry for the late reply. Not all sewing machines can do interlock stitch. it's best to check ur machine's manual to see if it can do that =) Alternatively, you can try burning the edge of ur fabric (ONLY for fabric w/ synthetic content) to stop frays

This helps so much! I am making a Kasane Teto cosplay, and she has these arm warmers as well. I actually like when you use some simpler terms because I have a basic sewing machine and most patterns confuse me with all the abbreviations and complex terms since I am such a beginner! Now all i need to do is find a pattern similar to Teto's "shirt" and some boots!
