It's taken me this long.... but thanks to everyone's kind words last time, I was motivated to play around with some more of my vintage fabric stash. More bracelets!
Yes, only four... but I do love these so. All but the green one are honest-to-goodness vintage, circa 1970-something, and the one with the fantastic paisley has a 1950-something Lucite button! The green one is maybe my favorite of this bunch; it's repro vintage, with adorable little salt & pepper shakers all over, and I love how the red ruffle looks. Cute!
There are more in the making, and I'm working on adding more lace and embellishments, maybe even some embroidery. Mostly, I've been attempting to draft a new pattern for my love's v-day (and, um, xmas) present, and nothing I'm coming up with is quite satisfying. But even if that fails, I do have another suprise in the works that, if it goes right, will even impress me.... A blueberry & white chocolate cheesecake with toasted almonds sure better tell that boy I love him! ;D
The pink&green one is made up of entirely vintage fabric - that floral print is my absolute favorite of the collection. The khaki one is mostly vintage; the dotty fabric fakin' it (it's a repro feedsack print).
