Quick Wrist Cuff Sewing Tutorial

Quick Wrist Cuff Sewing Tutorial

One of my favorite things is to repurpose old and unused things around my house. My husband wears a flight suit to work everyday and so I have a lot of old and worn out flight suits lying around. I used a piece of one of those old flight suits to create a cute cuff and I realized it would be so fun to share with all of you. You don’t have to have a flight suit you could use another canvas type fabric you have lying around the house or you can just order new fabric too (which is always a fun option!) Here is a quick wrist cuff sewing tutorial.

Instructions:

For this tutorial I will show you two different ways of making a cuff. First let’s make the panda cuff. Cut two pieces of your fabric that measures 3″. To find the length measure around your wrist and then subtract 3″. Place these two pieces of fabric right sides together. Then sew around three and a half of the sides.

Turn the piece out and press the opening closed.

Turn the piece out and top-stitch the opening closed. 

Cut a piece of faux leather that is the width of your wrist plus 2″. Center the panda rectangle on the leather and top-stitch it in place. I used a zig-zag stitch. Now wrap the cuff around your wrist and mark where you want to place the closures.

Turn the piece out and top-stitch the opening closed. 

Add the snaps and this cuff is finished!

The second cuff is a re-purpose using an existing strip of flight suit. The strip of flight suit was 3.5″ wide. If you don’t have a strip of existing canvas you will want to cut it 1/2″ wider and sew it together right sides facing so that when you turn it out you have a finished edge (just as we did above with the panda fabric.) Once you have a finished edge attach it to the faux leather. You can see below that I used a zig zag stitch. The last step is to wrap the cuff around your wrist and find where you want to place the snaps. Attach the snaps and snip the leather to the correct length.

One final tip is that you can use a brown Sharpie to mark the edges of the faux leather and make it look more like real leather.
