Embellished Ribbon Tank Top
Not all of us can afford to have a designer outfit, but some of us can figure out how the designer technique and make our own spin on it! That's exactly what I did. I came across this cool way...

Re: Book Giveaway: "The BurdaStyle Sewing Handbook"
This one seems like it's a must have for any good sewing library. :)

I love this magazine. I pick it up whenever I have time to look through a magazine (like an long airplane rides). :)

Ooooh I love this partnership! Simplicity seems to be the only pattern company that fits me and my kids the best without tons of reworking. And Suede was such a terrific designer. I'll definitely have to check these out.

I love patterns that come with separate pieces for the fitted bodice portion. It's so much easier than having to adjust every single pattern I try for the proper sizing. Terrific dress!

Oh My Gosh - I have tons of socks that don't have matches. If I could make some cute puppets out of those that would be awesome. In fact, if I could make puppets out of some of the ginormous fabric stash I have, that would be awesome as well. :D

Oh Wow! I never knew the exact name of this patchwork technique, but it's beautiful.

This book would be a very welcome and well loved part of my collection should I win. :) Thanks for the chance.

I bet there would be a ton of crafts that I could make for my computer programmer husband and little video game geek son! Yay!

Maybe this book would finally inspire me to learn more quilting techniques. I'm still a novice, so I like the "simple" that this book promises. :)

If you want to see the entire tank top, you can go down to Old Navy and buy one for $6 like I did. The post wasn't about the tank top, it was about the ribbon embellishment that was featured on this site. I created my own version, it turned out great and I thought I would share.
posted: 2:56 pm on May 7thIn this photo you can see the ribbon I chose and the entire design I made using the techniques I learned from the tutorial. I apologize for my son being in the pic, but as soon as I turn on the web cam, he thinks it's time to start mugging for the camera. I'll try better next time.
