Today
I’m sharing a simple sewing project made with dies and bezels from the newest
Spellbinders® line A Gilded Life. I was
going through my fabric stash, much of which I inherited from my Mom and found bits of lace. I combined some of the bits of lace with some scraps of muslin left over from another project to create this easy jewelry cuff with just a few stitches. Broken bits of jewelry were the perfect compliment. Watch the video to see how I
used the die to create a lace effect on the fabric.
