[updated] now kitty raver girl - fuzzy leg covers and tail
Posted: 08 Jun 2011, 00:42
i decided to try to make my own fuzzy raver girl legs. raver girls are almost always short and i am not.
materials needed:
* two yards of fuzzy fabric.
* spool of strong thread.
* elastic band.
* sewing machine.
needed to know three measurements:
m1) the circumference of the leg just below the knee. (15in on me)
m2) the circumference of the widest point of the heels that will be worn with it them. (23in on me)
m3) the distance between where you first measured below your knee to the ground, while wearing the heels. (25in on me)
the heels should be larger than below your knee, so they will slowly get wider from top to bottom.
add 1" to m1 and m2, add 3" to m3. that will give you padding for seams and then can be drawn on the fabric back.
which when cut out look like so.
when you sew them, first sew the top and bottom edges. fold them in an inch and a half and stitch them. that makes the top and bottom look nice and leaves a pocket on the top fold where you can string elastic band.
then fold them in half with the fuzzy side in and sew the edge together straight down.
turn them right side out, string some elastic band in the top, and blamo ready 2 go 2 the rave. *mmm chi mmm chi mmm chi*
i am undecided about the rest of the outfit as of the moment.
