I’m liZ from over at Simple Simon and Company and I’m happy to be here at the Ribbon Retreat today!
The only other item not listed in the photo is your pattern…I used the bodice from our upcoming pattern but any bodice pattern you have will work for this project. Also note that the ribbon amount may vary depending on the size of the bodice you are creating.
Now, once you have your supplies you need to cut your ribbon.
(Essentially you are making a piece of velvet ribbon fabric that needs to be as tall and as wide as your front bodice piece. So for my bodice pattern I needed to cut 8 pieces of both the black and the white ribbon and each piece was cut 7 inches long.)
Once your ribbon is cut you can start sewing!
Thank you to The Ribbon Retreat for inviting us over here today…it was so much fun to create something with your ribbon!!!

Hi and Thank you so much! This little Velvet Ribbon Bodice is adorable and so much fun! Thank you for your sweet comment and for stopping by! Have a wonderful day! Michelle 🙂
Really cute idea, but isn’t ironing on velvet a huge no-no? Doesn’t that flatten and ruin the nap of the velvet?
Hi Cheryl! Thank you so much for your comment and your question. Liz says…”it probably is a huge no no but the nap of the velvet ribbon isn’t deep and I ironed it from the back (not the front) to flatten the seams and used a low setting so it didn’t affect the appearance of the velvet at all.” Thank you so much again for your question! Have a wonderful day and thank you for stopping by! Michelle 🙂
I thought you would enjoy seeing the woven ribbon bodice that I made for a dress for my granddaughter.
