Author: Allison

Equipment

  • Scissors
  • Sewing Machine
  • Lighter

Materials

  • 1 20” of 1/4” elastic
  • 1 12” of 1” nylon webbing in your preferred color
  • 1 piece 6” velcro
  • 1 piece 6” decorative ribbon

Instructions

  • Cut elastic into 4 – 5” pieces
  • Cut the webbing into 2 – 3” pieces and 2 – 2 1/2” pieces
  • Cut rough velcro into 2 – 2 1/2” pieces
  • Cut soft velcro into 2 – 3” pieces
  • Cut ribbon into 2 – 3” pieces
  • Lightly burn the edges of each piece of webbing and ribbon with a lighter to prevent fraying.
  • Take one 2 1/2” piece of webbing and a 2 1/2” piece of rough elastic.
  • Sandwich the ends of two pieces of elastic between the webbing and velcro, with 1/2” of elastic under the velcro, and stitch around the edge of the velcro.
  • Make sure to go over the end with the elastic twice to ensure a secure hold. Repeat for the other sleeve.
  • Next, take the 3” piece of webbing and 3” piece of smooth velcro and sandwich the exposed elastic ends between the two, also placing 1/2” of the elastic under the velcro. MAKE SURE the two pieces of velcro are not on the same sides of the webbing.
  • When you lay the completed project on a flat surface only one piece of velcro will be seen. The other will be touching the flat surface.
  • Repeat for the other sleeve.
  • Finally, take the decorative ribbon and place it on the 3” piece of webbing, opposite the smooth velcro, and stitch around the edge of the ribbon.
  • Repeat for the other sleeve.
