Have you seen this ribbon around recently? I’ve found a few varieties and I just really wouldn’t mind having a pile of it in every color and style. Especially now that I’ve come up with a use for it.
Inspired by a darling little dress I spotted in Carmel, I started working on Addie’s birthday dress for the upcoming celebration. I stitched down the flower ribbon in rows prior to sewing the main and lining pieces of the bodice together. I really like how it turned out. I wish I could tell you the manufacturer of the ribbon I used on the dres, but I didn’t pay attention to the spool when I purchased it. I believe that Making Memories is the manufacturer of the cream and the pink one in the top picture. I’m going to have to hunt down some more . . .
I still have finishing detail to do on the dress like serging and hemming and topstitching, but that’s not as much fun… what are you working on?

This is beautiful Stef. Maybe my favorite so far. Understated and simply gorgeous.

Darn! I just saw that ribbon in my Walmart’s craft section. I had the pink ribbon in my hand, but wasn’t sure what to do with it so I put it back. I also saw the white and cream ribbon there. I guess I’m heading back to Walmart.

Hi Stef,
I just started on a top for my girl. I bought the black flowers for this top at Walmart. Inspired by you.
Thank you so much.
Kris says
So love that dress, that when I spied some flower ribbon at our local Hobby Lobby today, I just had to buy some. They had some gorgeous colors, but I opted of course for some baby girl pink.
