Off The Cuff

This is a new kind of project for me to share with you. I am a diverse crafter. I get bored doing just one thing and have always jumped from one thing to another. It drives my hubby crazy. Today I will show you a simple sewing project. I literally cut the cuff off of a thrift store shirt that I loved in the store....but hated on me when I wore it.

Didn't do step by step because this was pre-blogging.

Thought it would give you a sense of scale to see my hand. Just big enough for license and necessary cards when doing out for the night or quick run to the grocery store.

The only sewing was to stitch binding and clear plastic for pockets and handle.

The funny thing is I have never used it. Wanted to make up some stash for Etsy. Do you think this is Etsy worthy......

Candle kissed pillow

I made this pillow to match a headboard that me and my friend made. I will show you the headboard in another post.

When I made the pillow I forgot that there were big flowers in the comforter. I only remembered the stems and leafs. I was thrilled when we got to her place and realized that the flower was PERFECT for the comforter.

I wish I woud have had enough extra fabric to have made it larger.

I saw a tutorial somewhere a while back on burning fabric to make it curl. I wish I could remember who did the tutorial......if it is you....let me know and I will give credit.

All I did was cut out wonky circles in gradually smaller sizes. I heated the edges with a candle flame till they curled and then layered them and secured with a sterling bead cap.
