Materials:
| Time to complete: 60-120 minutes. (Not including 4 hour cure time) |
| Cut a long strip of fabric (at least 26 inches long) that is at least 4 inches wide. |
| Run two layers of Heat-n-Bond Hem along the length of the fabric at least 2 inches away from the edge.
|
| Fold fabric from the end and hem according to the instructions of the tape manufacturer. |
| Trim the bottom of the hem line. |
| Cut the strip into four pieces 5.75 inches long. |
| Mark a line 0.375 inches from cut end of the strip. |
| Mix about 50 grams of Ecoflex 00-10 according to package directions. |
| Spread the Ecoflex on the side without the line. Wait 4 hours for the rubber to cure.

|
Place the first strip of fabric, rubber side down onto new fabric. Sew two lines, one on the marked line and one 0.25 inch away from the marked line away from the rubber. Then sew the second strip of fabric so that the cut end sits on the drawn line of the fabric strip in front of it. Trim the excess base fabric. |
| Repeat for second foot. |
| Apply three layers of Heat-n-Bond Ultra to the underside of the base fabric. |
| After the sleeve is completed, iron the base fabric patches to the completed sleeve roughly four inches from each end. Make sure the feet on both patches are facing the same direction. Apply heat to the opposite side of the sleeve. |
| Heat one of the feet under an iron, Using a bamboo skewer, bend back the foot so that it is perpendicular to the sleeve. Hold the foot in place until it cools. When released, the foot should stay bent. Repeat for all the feet on the sleeve. |
| Cut the feet so that each bristle is about 0.125” thick. |
