This is a sewing pattern and instructions for making an arm cover to protect your upper arms from sunlight.
Arm covers are worn from the sleeve hem to the upper arm to prevent sunburn and protect the skin.
They are sometimes called “arm piercings” or “sleeve covers,” but here we will refer to them simply as arm covers.
This design is often seen in cosplay costumes for elegant or lady-like characters.
Although they can be made from a simple rectangle, shaping them slightly to match the curve of the upper arm will reduce seam tension and give a smoother finish.
Drawing the curve accurately can be tricky, so this pattern is useful for achieving a clean result.
Unlike arm warmers, arm covers are designed for UV protection rather than warmth. Thin, stretchy fabrics are most suitable.
When sewing, use Resilon (knit sewing thread) for best results.
Decorating the edges with lace can make them look much prettier. With its simple construction, this pattern is recommended for beginners.
After printing, align the pages along the dotted lines, paste, and cut before use.
The pattern includes seam allowance (S/A), so it can be used as is.
