Fabric bracelets

I stumbled upon a simple yet adorable Mamma Gioca's fabric bracelets tutorial on the G+ sewing community and instantly knew I had to try to sew some!  My toddler wanted to give some to friends, so this was the perfect opportunity to try this tutorial out.

With some leftover fabric and some buttons I purchased, I explored creating bracelets with a single button, mixing and matching multiple buttons, using ribbon, and just plain fabric. I’ll write about the buttons I’ve purchased in another post.

Ok, so I do have to say the hardest part of the tutorial is turning inside out the fabric, but the safety pin method the tutorial mentions does make it easier. Make sure to iron as you go, so it’s nice and tidy at the end. 

Overall, what a great and fun accessory to sew up and interesting use of buttons. This tutorial is a keeper.
