Making cuffs


Good day everyone! I'll be posting a series of posts and pictures as I assemble a set of cuffs so you can see the process.


Some people, ie. my friend Isobel, have great success with transfer pencils. Me...not so much. I use an old overhead and gel pens for darker fabric. One of the challenges is that the gel pens don't always adhere enough so I need to ensure the pattern comes through enough to go over it again. Deciding on colours is a challenge too as I try to decide what to put the cuffs on or if I'll be giving them away. I decided to use green which I realize may make you think of Christmas but I'm trying to use up some of my fibres which have become separated from their tags. Think of it as the no-name project.
