I have a renewed obsession with making fabric cuffs. I stitched up simple fabric collages, cut them into cuff strips, sewed over them and embellished them.
Here is a close up of the beaded ruffle I made.
A close up showing my polymer buttons and the resin paper I sewed onto the cuff.
A row of pearls sewn onto the edge and three rows of beads sewn next to a row of trim.
Vintage buttons, folded trim, netting, ribbon and a resin covered photo of my mother and uncle.
More resin paper and varied beads and one of my polymer buttons over lace.
A close up of the end of the of the above cuff.
These are extraordinary, Jo...I'd love to have one but not sure how to wear it...are they for sale? Love them and the idea of them. Can you wear them with jeans???

I am loving these cuffs! The black one is elegant, but I adore the white one. I recently have had the urge to create mostly white fabric collages, and you've totally given me inspiration. Oh, and your buttons just get better and better.
