Sew a Cuff Bracelet or Garter

Step 2Measurements

Measurements
Measure the circumference of your wrist for the cuff bracelet or your thigh for the garter.

Note:  For the garter, you want the tape to be snug so the garter won't fall.

Add 5/8" to the measurement.  This will be the length of the elastic band.

Stretch the elastic band as far as it will go and measure the stretch.

Subtract 1 1/4" from the stretch length.  This will be the length of the fabric.

Add 2 1/4" to the width of the elastic band.  This will be the width of the fabric.

Note:  You can increase the width more for extra flair.
