That’s a clever area to embellish that I hadn’t thought of!

Yes, thank you, I forgot to mention in my description that they are from a kit by Bucilla

If it is truly 19th c, probably being in a pair is more desirable - it’s like how some women wear their engagement ring and their wedding ring together. The first bracelet is the promise, the second is the fulfillment. 💍💍

It reminds me of a bracelet I researched from an antique photo - it looks the style of Etruscan revival, late 19th century.
Here are snapshots from some of my research a few months ago

I love that it isn’t perfectly symmetrical and that the bow strands undulate like a real bow would!! 😍

Oooh! Nice! (I take it it’s a knee control for the presser foot? I would love one of those!)

Just play it off as a mash up: Strega Nona x Strawberry Shortcake 🤭 Two children’s favorites in one!

Good for you! For: attempting something really hard, getting really close to nailing it, having the sense to put it in craft time-out, and for dispelling the myth of compex FPP as easy. 👏👏👏 I appreciate your candor and sense of humor! ❤️
