Right angle weave bracelet....

Not only do I love to sew, I also love to make jewelry. I had these beads hanging around in my sewing space and decided to play with them. I knew that I wanted to do the right-angle weave (RAW) for the base, but I just let my mind flow for the embellishment. I had a lot of Accu-Flex to work with so I kept adding beads to fill the spaces. In doing so it is a bit snug. I must wear it on my left wrist. The beads were not my normal. I picked them up from Joann’s when I was on a sewing run. Green is not even my favorite color, but I was there so I picked them up.


The toggle clasp is Swarovski and was gifted to me. Basically, I just grabbed what I saw in front of me.

Finally got to M6844...

Hi, this is my version of McCall’s 6844. I am trying to sew down my hoard of fabric, so I am just jumping in and sewing. I can’t remember where I got the knit print or the black Ponte. I was so excited to make this and didn’t follow the cutting layout. So, I was able to cut the collar out from some left-over Ponte from another project.


I made view B. I did a narrow shoulder adjustment, but still need to take out an inch from the arm-hole and the sleeve cap for the next one.

I love it!!!!
