Step-by-Step Instructions
Measure the length of your arm from your knuckles to how high you want your arm warmers to be, account for slack (e.g. i exaggerated for it to scrunch) and account for sewing in the edges (about an inch). Measure around your wrist while also accounting for slack and slack to sew the edges together later
Cut a rectangle of the dimensions you measured (length is length of arm, width is wrist circumference)
Sew in both edges, you do this by folding an edge short-ways, and sewing it together by either hand or machine
Pin together the fabric long-ways and sew it all together! Here, you're making the actual "sleeve" by making a kind of cylinder
Sew it together, turn it over, and put it on!! You can sew in each individual finger or the thumb if preferred as well :)
