I made this!

I  made a band for my Fortis watch, and the closest I could come to James Bond was something that looks more like it came from a peasant costume. I used a folded bias band, layered it with the striped band and improvised a closure mechanism with what I had in my sewing stash.

I am actually rather pleased with it. A press stud would have been better than a hook and eye, but it´s ok.

And then I made this. I have probably never had a wrist ornament this fashionable.

But seriously, what´s with this trend for wearing clunky, beady bracelets with handsome watches? I can´t help but thinking how that watch will be so beat up from all those beads´n´stuff, I doubt I will ever actually wear it this way. It looks nice, though.
