I'd like to make some ribbon jeans like the ones sold on ebay. I'd bid, but I can't really afford them here. See the link below: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=79718&item=8130188427&rd=1 My questions - what's the best way to attach the ribbons? Would you sew the ribbons to seam binding then attach to the jeans? Suzanne |

It looks like she sewed them straight to the hemline in the picture. Me personally, I think I would sew it to a strip of cloth and then sew it to the jeans, just to make sure you got it sewn together right. Ticia |

In her description, she says that they have binding over them to prevent fraying. I don't know if she sewed it to the binding first (which is what I'd do) or if she somehow encased them after. Jessica photos.yahoo.com/greendragondesigns

You know, now that I think about it more, she might have encased the ends of the ribbon in seam binding to help prevent fraying. It's a good idea really. Dorothy |
