I had an idea that just kept hanging around in the back of my head, so I had to get it out of there and into life. This is what came of it. It’s a bit of a prototype, because it has some flaws that I would like to fix […]
Another quick post…. one of these days I will make the time to write a proper one, I promise! This time I just wanted to show you a new felt embroidered cuff I made. This was supposed to be a gift for my friend, but it didn’t fit her so […]
After almost a year since the last one, I made another one of my embroidered felt cuffs. This one is made of a soft lavendar purple felt with aqua, lime and pale blue embroidery in the style of a sampler. Now to decide whether or not to put it in […]
I wanted to make a cuff bracelet for myself from fabric scraps. I started with some Pinspiration (check it out for lots of gorgeous examples and handy tips!). I tried some different things along the way but my final version is this fully hand-stitched, patchworked felt-lined cuff with vintage buttons. […]

I am really enjoying myself with felt lately 🙂 I needed a pincushion so I made myself one, out of felt, embroidery and buttons (out of my vintage stash which belonged to both our grandmothers) in nice bright and girly colours. The camera went nuts, because the pink especially is […]
I immediately made another cuff 🙂 This time I used 2 layers of felt, so this one is sturdier and hopefully won’t stretch as much as the last one. I also played a little with the stitching: I used a simple backstitch in some of my favourite colours. (the colours […]
