The rain falls, but can't wash away the mud

Say Wrap #1 isn’t your style and you want an arm wrap that doesn’t require the tedious wrapping. Try this way out! It takes more sewing and materials, but you won’t have to worry about the wraps moving out of place.

Materials:

• Plastic wrap
• Masking tape
• Scissors
• Iron + ironing board
• Fabric
• Sewing machine
• Zipper
• Wonder Under (double sided iron on)

First, wrap your forearm in plastic wrap, then put pieces of the masking tape on top. Cover the entire plastic wrap and make sure to overlap the tape while doing so. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but make it as fitted as possible.

Cut the form straight down the middle and flatten it. This is going to be your template for the arm wrap.

Cut long strips of your fabric. 

Then fold in the edges and sew it down to have a clean look. 

Next take out the amazing Wonder Under and ironing material. I got mine at JoAnn’s Fabric with a 50% off coupon. Check your local stores for coupons, because they almost always have coupons and great deals. I use the Wonder Under for a lot of things, and it might be something you guys want to invest in. :)

For those who can’t get to a Fabric store, Wonder Under is available through amazon.com too! HERE

Trace your arm template on the smooth side of the Wonder Under. Then add half an inch more to the ends. This is so that you can add the zipper later.

Cut the traced Wonder Under and place it on top of some of the extra fabric. Smooth side up. Then Iron it down.

The Wonder Under will fuse with the fabric pretty well. Cut the piece out, then peel off the backing of the Wonder Under.

Place the backing of the Wonder Under on the ironing board to use as a guide to place the strips of fabric. Place the strips horizontally with the hemmed side up. Then cut the fabric strips as you cover the backing, and leave some fabric on the sides when doing this.

Keep placing the strips to follow the general shape of the Wonder Under backing. Make the strips overlap each other and put the strips at slight angles. 

Next, place the fabric that is fused with the Wonder Under carefully on top of the strips of fabric. Make sure the fabric side it face-up and the Wonder under is on the bottom.

Next iron on top and when finished ironing, it should look something like this!

Trim the edges.

Sew about a quarter inch down the edge to secure everything in place.

Remember drawing the extra half inch on the Wonder Under? Get the Wonder Under backing and use it to mark the lines on the arm wrap. Fold along the drawn lines and iron it flat down. Do it to both sides. This is to make it easier when sewing on the zipper.

Line up the zipper with the arm wrap and pin them together. The zipper should be placed so that you zip UP to your wrist. Then sew the zipper on the arm wrap.

Trim the threads and excess zipper fabric, and YOU’RE DONE!

Hope this helped! Let me know if you have any questions!

Batter my heart

I’ve gotten asked quite a few times for advice on how I make my sims looks so anime-like. Then I wondered to myself what all exactly do I do when I make an anime sim, so I figured I’d load up CAS, make a quick sim, and throw together a guide on how I make my own anime sims.

First off I just want to say that not every sim will be the same, it really depends on the character you are making, but these tips should help for basic facial construction. This will cover generic female anime sims. While not intended, these steps can also be applied to more boyish anime males, however the masculine anime males are bit more trickier and I would have to write a separate guide for them.

Long pieces of text and images, so gonna add a “read more” to keep the post short for those not interested in seeing this entire guide pop-up on the dashboard.
