I adore bracelets and wrist cuffs and decided I had to try and make my own!

Instructions

  1. Small dsc 0304 1285461021

    Lay your piece of fabric out flat, right side up. Lay your lace on the edge of the fabric piece, making sure the part of the lace you want to fringe your hand is pointing downward!

  2. Small dsc 0306 1285461057

    Fold the top of your fabric over, pinning it flush to the other side, making sure to pin your lace in between! You should now have a lace sandwich, with 1.5 inches of lace sticking out both sides.

  3. Small dsc 0308 1285461072

    Sew two straight lines through the edge of your fabric. Don't forget to backstitch so it won't unravel. Make your stitches about medium length. Make sure also to sew through both layers and the lace layer, fixing it to the fabric securely.

  4. Small dsc 0313 1285461109

    Pull your fabric right side out. You now have a pretty little tube! Now would be a good time to iron if you need to

  5. Small dsc 0315 1285461129

    Fold both corners inward, pulling the lace inside also. This is harder then it sounds. Sometimes it will rumple your lace, or snag it...just play around with it until it lays like you want it. Pin.

  6. Small dsc 0317 1285461152

    Measure your button with your twine/ribbon. I do this by hand. Pinch it so you can see how much you need to leave outside your cuff

  7. Small dsc 0323 1285461173

    Tie a knot in each end of your twine to help it not "escape" in case the sewing comes loose. (You don't need to do this if you are using skinny ribbon, as that will just sew right in)

  8. Small dsc 0318 1285461195

    Secure your measured loop into the cuff. Make sure to center it!

  9. Small dsc 0319 1285461222

    Sew two lines down to enclose your loop. Sew back and forth a bit over the part that encases your loop, shortening your stitch length to help it stay in place.

  10. Small dsc 0321 1285461237

    Sew the other side down, two lines also.

  11. Small dsc 0324 1285461256

    I hand sew my button on, through both layers. If you want to sew it through one, put the button on before step 5. =)
