the wristlets story

front and back view of the wristlets

 those wristlets were made from heavy cotton and i absolutely love making them. the fabrics were nice , crisp and easy to work with and the best of all they were all so beautiful ! well since the fabric were samples fabric for curtains or upholstery which due to limited yardage i tried to mix and match their colors so that the front and back of the wristlet look nice and perfectly blended!

 

*wristlets were custom made for Rosni Abd Latiff from Nykolett fabrics.

tutorial : fabric bows

this is the tutorial for making fabric bows. first you will need to cut 6 fabrics of 3 different fabric design and the measurements are :

fabric 1 - 7.5" x  8.5" (cut 2 pieces)

fabric 2 - 8.5" x 9.5" (cut 2 pieces)

fabric 3 - 9.5" x 10.5" (cut 2 pieces)

(you can either use ribbon in the middle or cut 2 pieces of small pieces of fabric size 2" x 5")

sew the middle pieces together, right sides facing and turn it inside out. sew all around the first , second and third fabric right sides facing and leaving a few inches wide open at the end for turning.

snip the corners to make turning easier and nicer. turn it out and use a closed scissors or pen to push the remaining fabric out. do this on all 3 fabric pieces. then sew slip stitch to close the opening. press with an iron to smooth out creases.

now place fabric 1 on top of fabric 2 and fabric 3 being at the bottom. fold all 3 fabrics into half and start folding the fabric concertina fold and hold it with a pin.

once you've done that, fold the middle fabric piece into half and fold again the sides to the middle creases and place it in the middle of the bow. stitch it in place. you can attach pins if you like.

now its ready to be used as an embellishment for your handmade stuff. happy sewing :)
