Swap Fabric Cuffs


Pretty Fabric Cuffs
Swap




I have received an email from  Kirsty  asking if I should like to be part of a fabric cuff swap. I can only imagine that it was because of this post, which I posted so very long ago ... as you can see it mentions Christmas preparations!

Original Post
Pretty Fabric Cuffs



It said ...
I have spent the past few days making Christmas items. Mostly small stocking fillers and tree decorations. I saw some lovely 'cuffs' on Etsy and felt that they were just the type of thing that young teenage girls would like and found them very easy to make and very pretty and original ... and perfect stocking fillers or small tree gifts.




Ragged Twisted Cuffs
Fabric Scraps From My Pincushion Swap Partner
Padded Cuff With Velcro Fastening
More Fiddly Satin Roses
Larger Satin Rose
Easy Cuffs



I found them very easy and fun to do I (have now made ten in an afternoon) and very quick, simple and cheap. I shall now embellish them with buttons and beads and a little embroidery to make them a little bit more special.

  3. What a great idea, Annabelle! I particularly like the first one. This might be something that even a "challenged" seamstress wannabe could try. What do you think? Thanks for sharing your beautiful cuffs. :-)
