Supplies:
Women's tights are from Target
You can draw your own design, get a template off the internet. I used punkinhead font from dafont.com (the letter q).
Cut out a template for the faces with clear contact paper.
Paint edges in. I did a layer of black then a layer of glitter.
I wanted black and white stripped sleaves, but I wanted easy. Sooooo, I just used a pair of leggings that I cut the length I wanted them to be + seam allowance.
Hem the wrist by folding over twice. Top stitch.
For the top, around my arm, I just made a casing and put elastic in it. It can be removed or added as needed. You could sew it directly to the shirt or wear a long sleeve striped shirt underneath. I just used what I already had;)

Leggings as sleeves... very clever. I'm making one of these!
Where did you but your leggings? Super cute!
Oops, meant to say buy. Typing with a baby in my arms. :)
I love the shirt and the hat! I'm including you in my Friday Favorites this week!
This is such a cute shirt! I love those striped arms!! I would never have guessed that they're tights.
