How to Make Your Bracelet
Instructions:
-
First determine the length and width of your bracelet. Measure your wrist and add 3 cm (mine was 15 + 3 = 18 cm for the length of the panel). The width of the panel was 6 cm. Cut the interfacing based on your denim panel.
-
Apply the interfacing, on the wrong side of the denim panel. Then, fold 0.5 cm and stitch on both sides.
-
Before folding, trim the four corners of the panel a bit. Fold the fabric edges to the center and press.
-
Fold again so that the raw edges are enclosed and the folded edges meet. Cut a 3cm elastic, fold it in half, and stitch it to form a button loop. Put the button loop between the folds. Pin the bracelet and topstitch all around, as directed on the picture below.
-
Position the button on the other side of the bracelet, 0.5 cm from the edge, and sew.
