A Sparkly Birthday Dress with Hidden Ribbon Detail. This dress is based on the pattern in new book from #OliverandS. The bodice and sleeves were designed using the pattern block provided. The skirt is simply a gathered rectangle of sequinned fabric. Ribbons sewn into the shoulders of stretch fabric will stabilise seams and prevent them from over-stretching. Pieces of coordinating denim-style ribbon from www.janemeans.com were stitched directly on the shoulder seams with a long straight stitch.

Using Ribbon to Create Hidden Dress Details: A school uniform is a lot more fun to wear when there are personal secret details sewn inside. This school uniform is sewn in navy linen, from the #Oliver+S Seashore dress pattern, with the front skirt gathers omitted. The front and back neck facings are sewn from viscose cat fabric, and all the raw edges and seams are enclosed by gingham bias binding. The bound pockets needed to be anchored to the dress and a red and cream Jane Means stitched ribbon matched perfectly (www.janemeans.com). This was sewn to the pocket and then attached to the dress seams. The hem is faced with Farbenmix.com woodland print ribbon.

Girl's Cape with Ribbon Details: Ribbon can be used for finishing details and to make garments more comfortable to wear. This months Burdastyle magazine 10/2016 has a fabulous cape pattern. I adapted the pattern by adding curves to the hem of this floral, fleece cape. The centre front opening is neatly finished with an orange and yellow striped ribbon from Jane Means, folded to create the opening. (www.janemeans.com) A green cotton Jane Means ribbon was sewn over the joining seam of the hood and cape to give a comfortable finish to the neckline. This ribbon is a particularly soft cotton which is perfect to cover the neckline seam. It also created the green ribbon ties.

Mending with Ribbons When the back of my daughter's music box came apart, we were sure it couldn't be saved. That is until we found a perfectly co-ordinating blue stitched ribbon from www.janemeans.com This was glued carefully to cover the torn pieces of lining. Despite our wobbly first attempt at gluing ribbon, it looks like it was made just for this music box.

#KidsOOTD Only one thing to do when we get a heatwave in Ireland (yes, 2 days of sunshine is a heatwave!) This very easy and quickly sewn top is adapted from the #BrooklynTankTop from the book 'Sewing Clothes Kids Love'. Ribbon is used for the front and back trim. This dog ribbon is from www.janemeans.com and works perfectly with the crazy cow knit fabric. The shoulder strap ribbing is from www.dressfabrics.ie an Irish fabric shop.

Cozy Hot-Water Bottle Covers for Chilly Spring Evenings These easy hot water bottle covers are a quick sewing project. Draw or chalk around the hot-water bottle on paper or directly on the fleece fabric allowing for seams and extra 3cm around the top opening. Cut out the front. Cut out the back in two fabric pieces and allow 5cm extra for overlap and hems on each piece. Sew these hems first. With right sides together place the overlapping back pieces on the front piece & sew all around. Turn right side out. Stitch or tie 30cm lengths of gingham ribbons from janemeans.com around the top and snuggle when cold!! http://www.janemeans.com/gingham-c-56_62.html
