Glove Wristlets


Sometimes the best part of the glove is all in the wrist. L wanted something to jazz up her sleeveless prom dress and saw this Chanel advertisement. Using it for inspiration launch, we went to Jo-Ann's and bought some "Raven Silver Fog Foil" fabric and a card of 2 La Mode "Crystal" buttons (Style #47239).
I cut two rectangles 6" x 13", turned under 3/4" and stitched all four sides to finish the edges. Measuring 3" from the edge, I made three pleats and secured with the button. Underneath I attached a snap and sewed one on the other end. She loved them!
