RE: #needleworkmonday :: Handsewn elbow sleeves from old t-shirt

in NeedleWorkMonday5 years ago

You're brave. I would never date to use that fabric. I'm quite afraid of it. 😁

However it looks great! Congratulations!

I know runners use elbow sleeves but those are 100% synthetic.

Sort:  

I used to be afraid of it too untik I realised that we do not need to worry about frayed edges 😁 I am using the sleeves now and really happy with it although the stitches could have been neater (without holes appearing as the fabric stretches) with a machine. But it is alright for now :)
Ah yes sports people use the ones that are usually tight and made of special material (or so the manufacturers said :D) to give the elbow the support it needs while they use the muscles there to prevent injury.
Thank you for your kind comment @erikah. A happy day to you :)
