Hi folks
Hope everyone is doing well this fine morning, the sun is
shining and I can’t help but feel good. I
do love summer, there’s a feeling of peace I get when it’s sunny like
everything will work out for the best.
Well today’s offering is a bracelet, I made this quite
awhile ago, so I’m afraid I can’t remember anything about the thread, apart
from the fact that it is a bit thicker than the normal stuff. I do promise to
make note of that sort of thing on all new projects. It’s a little shabby now
as I wear it a lot especially in the sunshine, which is why I decided to
feature this piece today.
It’s a very simple design working up one side to the desired
length and then back down the other leaving a loop for the fastening, a button
at the other end.
I hope my little drawing of the pattern makes sense, please
let me know if not.
Down the centre I sewed small ribbon roses, the sort you can
get at any haberdashery I feel they really make the bracelet look so feminine
and dainty, which I love when I wear it. It makes me feel all feminine every
time I look down.
One thing I have learnt since I made this, is that tatting
can stretch, so although I made it to fit my wrist, it is now longer so instead
of fastening on the intended loop I put the button though the next hole in and
just tuck the button loop back over the button after. This works just as well, but I do tend to make things like this on the smaller side now.
well I'll be off now and have a think about what to post up tomorrow.
lots of love
ally
