DIY leather wrap bracelets

Leather Wrapped bracelets....

Pinterest has lots of creative ideas for bracelets. I like this style as it is casual  and organic.

The secret to a great wrapped bracelet is to keep the same size beads, use a good quality nylon thread, and a needle that will thread through your selected beads. I like using my collection of buttons to accent the color of the beads...

Lingerie
Move over Victoria Secret. I've  designed a  night gown  for my  over 50 body  that  includes an upscale, modest, but elegant look. I started out with New Look Pattern 6784. I then added a seam in the back bodice, and created a circle opening. I added length to the front, and added a curved lower hem in back. The fabric is a thin light purple, with light purple lace. I lined the lace with a sheer white lining. Overall, the design from the New Look pattern turned out great with an additional side seam alterations to the bodice.
