Sleeve + Hood... thingy. And wristies!

[TomotheCat]

So I got this random idea to make arm warmers that attach behind the back, and then I thought, what the hell, I'd add a hood to it too. I'm wearing it on top of my shirt to show you guys how it's made, but I'll probably just wear it under my t-shirts so it looks like a layer... I love wearing clothes that confuse people, haha..

Also, here are some wristies I made out of some socks that were too small for my monster feet x.x They're wicked easy, I just cut them above the heel, and also at the top, and gave both sides a lettuce edge. Took like five minutes.

Oh, fun! It looks like those mittens that attach to little kids' coats, but for grown-ups. Great pink color.

And I am such a ho for lettuce edging. It's just so versatile! Satin stitch works even better - it looks a little cleaner.

Yay PowerPuff Girls! Yay Hot Pink! Yay yes I'm 36 and immature!

its sooooo cute!!! i made sumthing like that, but i have a half back piece and a thin piece running over the chest to hold the sleeves

Lol, I'm 23 and I buy bags of children's socks at the dollar store to turn into wristies.

Trés cute! How long did that take you?

[TomotheCat]

Thanks :) Not really sure... Maybe an hour? I usually gauge my project time by how many TV shows start and finish while I'm sewing, lol, but I made this while watching American Idol failed auditions on the intarwebs.
