About Me
- Oksana Starzhynska
- My blog's main subjects are sewing, the thing in which I am experienced the most, and beadwork, which is, in fact, pushed me into blogging. I am also engaged in knitting and crocheting. All together they are the set of skills which I use to make my wardrobe my whole life. These are not my only interests, I also like the English language (that's one of the reasons that my blog is bilingual), try to travel around my country and abroad (when can afford it), am interested in art (to the degree of a dilettante but nevertheless) and adore the people who can create anything beautiful or useful whatever it is :-) So welcome to a needlecrafter diary!

Crocheted Furry Cuffs, or Theatre Dress
Once upon a time when I was a small girl and only learned to understand what is style and taste, in an old fashion magazine (in direct sense "old" because my childhood belongs to the 70ths and the issue was from the 60ths but in that time I was happy to look through any one) I read an article with the tips as for the dresses being sewed purposely to go to the theatres. Something about how to choose such clothes, what accessory to match and so on. Of course, the article was accompanied with the photos as well and on one of them I saw the outfit with fur cuffs. Probably they impressed me so much that I still remember that picture. Time passed, I grew up, learned to sew and made a lot of clothes both for myself and for the clients but never used such accessory as furry cuffs for dresses. And recently I have seen the same idea in my Burda's friend Mary Athey's project. My childish admiration arose at once and I decided to apply the idea for one of my next items. What is my logic is hard to say, but not having a dress yet, I've already got the cuffs:-))
It is very quickly to make. No more than an hour for all the work and I call it a project:-) I decided to crochet the cuffs from furry yarn. Once I crocheted a cape from the alike yarn so knew that three threads is the right choice to get almost real faux fur look. Crocheted a stripes 22 stitches x 7 rows then sewed them.
