Made my First Fabric Cuff

I recently joined a group on Facebook

that does a lot of mixed media textile swaps.

We've done collages, tags, ATCs etc.

The newest swap was for a Fabric Cuff.

I have never made one before but loving the idea, 

plus the opportunity to pull out my lace and sewing machine, 

I jumped in.

I can't believe how quickly and easily this was.

Like layering paper, except this time  it was

fabric and lace.

I went with a blue theme. 

Mixing in some beige lace here and there.

As my focal I stitched on a fabric flower with a button

on top.

Added some beads and a metal butterfly.

We had an ice storm this past weekend and I am desperately wishing Spring was here.

This is how it looks on my wrist.

This is the side where it attaches.

I used a vintage Mother of Pearl button as my fastener so both sides

have something interesting on them.

Now that I have made my first I will definitely be making

more of these.

They are kind of addicting, and give you the perfect opportunity 

to pull out all the lace & ribbon you've been hoarding.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
