Texture

planar mapping is good but it leaves ugly strech marks on the sides, I then did planar mapping on the side faces so their texture looked ok aswell. i found it easier than unfolding as the texture i was using lent itself to this, I also made the sides be on the darker side of the texture so it looked like the seams of the fabric, i later added thread to it to add effect

the seam

I had a lot of trouble with the skeleton, as I couldnt get pole vectors to work, therefore i couldnt point the elbow where i wanted it to.
