Hi Everyone!
Here is another project from my thrifty booty from last week. Remember the skirt?
 |
| Cute skirt. Terrible for my shape. I didn't even bother to try it on..... |
This skirt was cut into several strips, with plans to create scarves. And, maybe a baby dress for my granddaughter, Miz A. After cutting the strips from the fabric, I was left staring at the elastic waistband. The fabric is so cute, it didn't feel right to waste the waist (hehe). I wrapped it around my wrist and realized that I could sew these into slip on cuffs. No snaps or buttons! Yay!
 |
| I first cut a length long enough to fit around my wrist. Holding the strip in place around your wrist, pull it off to make sure that it slips off comfortably. |
 |
| Stitch the cuff closed. |
 |
| I cut a piece from the waist tie for the bow. |
 |
| Thrifted clip on earring. |
 |
| I sewed the earring onto the bow. |
 |
| I then sewed the bow/earring right onto the cuff. |
 |
| The sunshine on the top cuff is also a thrift treasure. That one is a keeper, in fact, I wore it all day today. The bottom one is a giveaway. Go here to enter the giveaway. |
These were so fun I plan to do many more in the future. Definitely looking forward to the next Salvation Army 50% off day!!
