i am burning up! our airconditioners aren't working and i want to DIE!
so to keep myself preoccupied
i've kept my promise for 2 things a day,

these are my next two!
i didn't post yesterday, but i made two wrist cuffs just
like the one posted here!
i came up with the idea after i realized how much little scraps i had.

i am a little obsessed with this fabric combination,
so that is all i have been working with lately.

ETA: can i ask you guys what your wrist sizes are?
mine is 6" and i have made the wrist cuffs to fit up to 7" wrists...
but i want to see if i should make bigger or smaller ones!
thanks everyone :)

The tote is gorgeous! I'd totally use it!

My wrist measurement is 6"

I normally make my wristcuffs 8 inches long to take into account the fastenings - but I'm going to start making them around 9 inches long instead because I get a LOT of emails from people asking for longer ones.

aw, thank you!
i'm glad to hear that someone would like to use it :)

that is what i was worried about
i like my wristcuffs/bracelets rather tight
so i wanted to make sure people had to option to choose different sizes.

my fat little wrists are about 8".

coincidentally, at the craft sale today, i overheard the woman at the table beside me say that she was making her wristcuffs to fit her own 5" wrists thinking it was probably average, but now she has started making them bigger because she gets so many requests for 8" and 9" wristcuffs.

i love the bag! That's such a great color. My wrists are 6.5", but I like my wristcuffs a little bigger.

aw, thank you!
thanks for measuring!
i thought it would be easy for the craft girls because most of us just have a tape measure lying around :)

yeah, anywhere in my room i'm no more than 3ft from a measuring tape. and actually, right behind my computer chair is a work space, so all i had to do was turn around and grab my tape to measure. :)
craftistas and our measuring tapes are like nurses and stethescopes. always got 'em around our neck!
anyway, my wrist is 6" too. so i guess if you made them from 5" - 9" plus room to fit, they would fit many peeps.
cute!

Very cute! And, for the record, my left wrist is 6.75 inches around. My right wrist is 7 inches on the nose.
