Commissioned Wristlets

Here is a commissioned bird wristlet in blue.  I usually use bright colors on the birds, because natural colors would look a little blah on the ecru yarn.  It was nice to make a little sparrow for Dawn.

And the ubiquitous inside shot.

This commission from Elizabeth of Crafts of Destiny was for a friend who loves to play dominoes.  Her birthday was in July, so I decided to put seven spots on it.

Here is a close up of the top.  For both of these wristlets, I squared off the corners when I sewed in the lining. I really like how it looks ... although I like the loose, foldy look, too. Do you have a preference?

I think the squared ones look better. I'm also triyng to make perfection im purses, remenber me? but the thing of putting zippers it is a big war! Can you give me same advice! You said a lot of post ago that you were going to make a post on that matter...if it is possible to explain...THANK YOU in advance ;)

Oooo shmancy new bags! I like!

I think I like the the squared corners, but I tend to naturally go towards the geometric.

Question: do you machine sew or hand sew your linings?

I'm toying with machine sewing crocheted pieces, a la the coasters tutorial up in the purl bee!

Squared off, absolutely-it's a very clean look!

I like the squared off corners. It looks like it would be a bit easier to open up the wristlet and get to the contents.

The domino bag is adorable.

Now that's another reason why I want/need to learn to crochet! So sweet! Love those inside labels, too :-)

Yet another crisp-cornered vote. The domino bag leaves me contemplating what sorts of retangular objects could be translated into wristlet-form. It's a fun game.

Lovely work, per usual!

Has anyone noticed Futuregirl reflected in the Dominoes buttons? They each have their own perspective of her taking the picture.

Wow- they look so great! I'll have to get one for myself one of these days.

Another for squared corners!

And I have an idea for one - can you email me about how to commission one?

Thanks! :)
