Wednesday

So, this is what I am working on.

What the heck is that?

A wrist band?

Almost, but no, it's a cuff. My daughter has an off white blouse and she wanted ruffled, wide cuffs on the sleeves for her Hallowe'en costume. She knows I have a lot of fabric. For some reason this piece of muslin was just sitting around waiting for the right opportunity to be put to use. I only had to cut off a small piece to make it into a rectangle and then cut the rectangle in half. After that I had to figure out how to construct (sew) the cuff. It took some thinking but I have now perfected my technique and it's a good thing too since my youngest son liked the way they turned out and has requested two for him and two for his girlfriend. They will be going as musketeers. Those costumes have yet to be sewn and then there's Peter Pan...

Go on over to  http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.com/  to see what other people are working on.

    Costumes are so much fun! That certainly looks like an appropriate cuff for a muskateer.
