Does anyone know where I can find a tutorial for arm sleeves? They seem to deceptively simple -- and yet -- I can't figure out for the life of me where to start. What makes things more difficult is they're for a commission -- and so I need to make them to fit someone else aside from myself.
A few questions -- what measurements do you guys need when making these? My big question -- I see a number of arm sleeves are "held up" by like an elastic gimmick -- how do you know how long of a piece of elastic to use? Any help in this area would be fantastic. I've had several people inquire about commissioning me for paws with arm sleeves and I always turn them down because I haven't taught myself to make them yet. This commissioner is willing to be my guinea pig but I could use some help with this first set.
Thanks for all your help I know I've been posting a lot lately (I'll try to keep that to a minimum) but been more active with fursuit making (both for myself and to sell) and trying to step up my game and work on my quality.
On a side note, I did pick up an Andis trimmer with a 10 blade and 7F and have been getting some good results kind of playing around with those. For a while my head was looking choppy, but kept going over it slowly, and started shaving from different directions (not just going with the grain of the fur) and that seems to be making things more even. :)
