Once again, we apostrophize you: don’t overlook a pile of old sewing notions when you’re out junking. It’s bound to have at least one good find to add to your growing hoard of quality odds and ends.
All of the ribbons and seam bindings featured on this page were found in various tangles of rickrack, elastic, embroidery floss, tailor’s chalk, unwound bobbins, safety pins, and other highly obscurant stuff. If we’d been dismissive, or too lazy to do a little pawing, we would have missed out on some treasure! The moral: a little effort can, at times, bring big rewards.
Ribbons can be used for sewing, wrapping gifts, or tying back your hair.
