Slogan Bracelet "How To"

One of my readers requested that I show how the Slogan Bracelet was finished. Here is a brief "how to" guide.

Come guida

1. Measure a piece of embroidery linen to fit around your wrist and the desired width to incorporate your slogan. Add 1/2" to the lengthwise measurement. Center your slogan as desired and cross stitch.
2. Cut a piece of fabric the same size as the linen. I used an antique piece of wool that I had in my fabric stash. Any type of fabric that has some body would work.
3. With right sides together machine stitch one long edge and each end.
4. Turn and press, pressing under 1/4" on the unsewn edges.
5. Slip stitch lining to embroidered linen.
6. Make a chain stitch loop on one end and sew button in place.

The button I used is an antique stamped china button also from my stash.

....and speaking of "stash" if you don't have your own personal "stash", and don't have the time or inclination to try and unearth and collect these little treasures, don't despair Whimrose Projects is coming to your rescue with a new Internet shop featuring just these types of interesting and hard to find items that will personalize your creations.

I have lots of new ideas that I am working on and plan to bring together under the
