These plain cuffs are made out of the jersey remains of the Little Octopus Ensemble.
They were quickly sewn together, upper hem made with the twin needle and lower hem with the rolled hem of my overlock machine, so these cuffs were an especially simple work :-)

My very first self-made finger gloves are made out of plain black cotton-fabric and they are decorated with a discreet border. They are the perfect accessory for victorian daytime dresses.
The gloves are made from pattern B from the Butterick B5370 pattern and I had to sew them by hand for the most part. Sadly the result is somewhat crippled, but nonetheless okay for a first try ;-)

And again another new knitted-cuffs-design: stripes!
The pattern is like the one I made for the Button Cuffs, just stiped this time ;-)
Here I made different lengths and colours too.

These gloves I made as an addition to the Romantic Military Combination.
For that I added some flounces to the pattern A from the B5370 Butterick pattern and used the remains of the blouse-fabric from the blouse of the Romantic Military Combination.

This wonderful two-piece consists of a short camisole with coppery uniform buttons, that is ment to be worn over a corset und a fishtail skirt with build-in petticoat, also decorated with coppery buttons.
As accessory I made a little cap and cuffs with coppery buttons.
While making the designs I thought a bit of Captain Frankie Cook from Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow ;-)

The prototypes of these cuffs and leg warmers are black with buttons. The cuffs are mid-forearm-length and the gaiters go up till the knee.
With the coppery buttons these pieces are wonderful accessories for Steampunk outfits.
I used black wool of the strength 3 – 4 and needles of the strength 4. The buttons I used were sold in a very high quantity for not much money ;-)
The cuffs were so well received that I was asked to make them in different colours and lengths with or without buttons or with silvery buttons. That was how I made some very colourful copies of them and I sold a few, but kept also some brown and grey ones for myself ;-)

These simple knitted cuffs I made in three different lengths: just as gloves, up till mid-forearm and once up over the elbow. All three versions are still worn very often :-)
The matching leg warmers had differnt lengths two: just fitting over the boots or up to the knees. Here both versions are also still in use.

These lacecuffs can be combined universally and were sewn together the simplest way possible with a rounded seam at the hand and the pretty edge of the lace fabric at the upper end. I am still wearing them often, because they just fit to almost every gothic outfit.
The lacecuffs are exclusively sewn by hand.

These cuffs are made out of firm white satin, they are closed with a lacing on the downside and have loops for the middle fingers. On the upper side they are decorated with little white pearls. In the past I wore them with white or black and white outfits, today they are just lying around.
The cuffs are exclusively sewn by hand.
